It has been an open secret that my passion for writing has never burned out, to my close friends at least. I didn't know how it all started but I realized even as a young child that I am able to speak my thoughts better in writing. I planned to be a journalist having all my backgrounds and experiences since elementary and high school yet I somehow found myself sidetracked and took up Architecture instead.
I don't have any regrets, I came to like my new path, with friends and new things I have discovered and learned. I might be a little smug as to say that I am always a versatile person. I have been writing before but I somewhat stopped. Just recently, it occurred to me that something in me is missing. The burning passion for writing has come back. I found myself afraid that I won't be able to write anymore and my talent was taken away from me. But I was amazed to find all the open doors waiting for me. It was like a switch waiting to be turned on.
I took the opportunity that presented itself. I was given this chance and I held a tight grip on it. I wrote and the article was published with my name. It might not be that grand, and I'd all but experienced all these before, but I felt a different high seeing my name and article once again. It was as if I was sleeping all along and this is is awakening.
