Starting To Write Quickly Improved My Life. Why You Need A Journey Too!
It’s never too late to start, but once you do, you may wonder why you didn’t start earlier
Why Am I Even Doing This?
I’m 100% in this for the money… I think. Or is it passion? Maybe, I just wanna complain on the internet? Why am I doing this again? Career advancement? Too much free time? I wish. I don’t really know, and I think it’s some of the beauty in it.
In school, I always hated English. A strong word I know, but I always despised having to write papers. Had a strong disdain for reading books. I didn’t like having to memorize literary devices. I didn’t like English so much that to this day I still think I got punk’d when I ended up having to take AP English and was told I couldn’t opt out.
So, why am I starting a blog again? Honestly, I’m not sure, but I’m glad I did.
For someone with a strong distaste for writing this sure seems like a hypocritical message. And it is. On the contrary, it’s taught me something. I’ve avoided writing so much, that when I started doing it for fun I realized I kinda like it. Now, I’m not telling you to hop on the bandwagon and start a blog. What I am telling you is to be a little open-minded and try something you didn’t think you’d ever do.
My Ulterior Motives
Alright, let’s be transparent here. I’m not doing this out of no potential benefit to myself. I didn’t wake up one morning and say, “I wanna be inspirational, and I’ll do it with the written word!” No shot. It was calculated. I work in Tech and social influence is “needed” to advance vertically at some companies. Also, “seemingly needed” in tech is having a bunch of mental health and self-esteem issues floating around. The latter interests me.
What am I gonna do about it? I’m a Software Engineer, not a Psychiatrist… Unlike a Psychiatrist, I have no idea what I’m talking about when it comes to mental health and self-esteem issues. I do however have perspective.
Having gone through some of the mental battles of being a young millennial in the tech space. I figured this could be my space to complain. It can also be my place to potentially help someone out going through something similar!
Ultimately, I like helping people, and I feel like this is a forum in which I can potentially do that! My friends and family often tell me that I have an interesting perspective, and offer good advice. Where better to test that out that getting roasted on the internet?
Now back to you.
Starting Your Own Journey
I’m not telling you that you have to start something today. I not really telling you that you have to start anything at all. I really just want you to be observant and take a second glance at the things that you said you’d never do.
Could it potentially turn into something that you love? Could it help you advance in your career? Could it potentially make you money someday? Could it be a calming source for you and your mind?
I don’t know. You won’t know either unless you give it a shot 😉
If you do start making money and become rich tho 👀 come back and take me with you 😂.
