It has been a while since i last blogged. Just today, i found my first love -- writing. I did not know it still exist. I started blogging, 2008.
Below was the screenshot. It made me feel giddy that it still exists.
With this, i am thinking of going back to my first love -- writing. I know i am rusted and all, but that does not stop me from rekindling the love i have for writing.
Right now, i choose Bitlanders as my new avenue of writing down my thoughts. Having a few gems, I might as well ask Hillary to review my blog. Fingers crossed.
Now, why do i like to pen down my thoughts? Surprisingly, writing everyday can have its own benefits.
1. It is therapeutic. Stress reliever. Well, I am not speaking of the mandatory 1000-word essay you have to write in class about your stand on politics or whatever that you have to submit the following day. I am actually speaking of freelance writing here. Just letting your pen slide down the paper with your thoughts fueling it. No qualms. No hesitations. Just write. Writing down things that are stressing you out can actually alleviate the anxiety.
2. Brain exercise. When we write, we think. It does not matter how intellectual or how silly it is. What matters is that we get to use our brain. The play of words at how fitting are they to describe our thoughts is simply magic. Using simple vocabularies or maybe using those high fallutin words is a good way to get those juices out of your brain.
3. Writing helps in organizing your thoughts. I personally write, or vent even, my frustrations and worries every night. What is funny though is that when i read those frustrations later on, it just makes me smile at how silly i am to be frustrated on certain mundane things. Then i could reorganize myself and think clearer, have a more positive outlook in life.
I am sure there more benefits to writing than those of what i have written above.
I am just glad that there are writing platforms, such as Bitlanders, where we can discover and exercise our writing skills.
Here a few quotes i came across the internet:
