What A Friend I've Found

 

    I thought a lot about what to write next. And while I was doing the thinking, I came up to the thought of "why not write about why I write?". And believe me, the rhyme wasn't funny. So the very first thought about the question, "why do I write?" responds a simple answer of, "I found a bestfriend in it. "

    Growing up in a lonely and primitive environment, I found peace and silence. However, silence is deafening. While I was comfortable with silence, it made me look intimidating and just..lonely. Silence is loud and you always feel as if you're shouting at a deep and dark hole, it's as if you're falling in a dangerous cliff.  You can only hear your echoes over and over again. That is the very reason why I write. I wanted not only to hear all my echoes but also my voice. The voices I fail to tell. The voices I fail to recognize. The voices I'd like people to hear. And from then on, I formed a lasting bond with writing. I found a bestfriend in words and sentences that corresponds to my soul.

    I was exactly at the age of 10, while I was in my fourth grade when I had this hobby of writing anything on my little notebooks. I would write about specific scenarios of my imaginations. The conversations, the quotations, and if I clearly remember it, the actions of my characters. I would write about their dialogues which was inspired by some situations in a teleserye I was engrossed with. Those little moments of my write ups has formed a hobby in me until I finally entered junior high school. The feeling of writing another piece of my imagination in another environment excites me very much. And years went on, writing still serves as my confidant and a dear friend. 

    There was nothing to expect greater from me when it comes to writing. I don't write beautifully and artistically. I was inspired to write just by seeing what people do around me. 

    Let me tell you that I'm not much of a reader. I couldn't afford to sleep very late just because of a book. I am not studios either. However, I woke up one day and I suddenly want to write. I wanted to speak my soul and writing is the way I know in which I can express them. 

    Life is art. What we do everyday, if we show passion, is a good form of art. Art is not all about colors, canvass, and paintings. Art could be your favorite song, favorite dance, favorite quotes, favorite movie. Everything that sparks interest within you is art in itself. Writing is my art. It's my bestfriend. 

   Words for me are like the air I breathe and exhale them through every pattern of sentences I write. Just like life. How breathtaking it is to be alive. So, find your bestfriend. Grow with them. Find your passion. Live with art and breath with them.
