I've known since I was nine that I wanted to be a writer. It's taken some time, but I've worked myself almost crazy, trying to find my style, and see what I'm good at. Writing about anything takes courage, because you come face to face with what people think about you, and your writing. You can see their criticism in all it's special form, but you have to live with knowing that you are affecting some other lonely soul out there. If you have connected with anyone spiritually, your soul will know. Writing for me has taken a turn from what it used to be. I used to use it as a means to escape life, via means of journals, but now I see that the world is at my disposal. I like this site for many reasons, but probably one of the greatest is that it's a place where all people, of different countries and religions can come together and find some common ground. It's easy to get lost in today's fast track world, but thoughts.com is a place where we can all come together and let off a little steam, or just make new friends. Whatever we are here for, I really hope we can stop judging each other long enough to realize that everyone here has talents, some more than others, but still. If everyone was the same, we wouldn't have arguments. If everyone agreed on everything, we wouldn't have debates. The world would be a bunch of mindless drones moving in slow motion because they are too afraid of their own shadow to actually do something in life. I've found my calling, and rather or not I don't know enough about it, I will still continue to try, and I believe that's all that matters, me trying.
Well, that's all the thoughts for now, until I come up with something else. Sadly, last night, I wrote three poems, but I forgot them at home. I'll have to find them...but as soon as I get them I'll add them on here.
I just wanted to say a personal thanks to all of my friends and future readers, all of the critics and associates here from thoughts.com, and of course the creator of the site, it's awesome. I hope to be here for many years.
