Here I start with a thought in my head, why I exist, and what I should do with my life. What burns me off and what fuels my mind and heart with light.

You might have thought the same for once in your lifetime or you will in the future. Honestly, the thought can bring several different emotions into the light for every single one of you.

The thing is when something is in the birth period, it’s a bit dark somewhere in the mind and heart.

Like a seed sprouting or a real human birth, both entities yet to be born, experience a fair amount of gloom in the process of becoming something. Not everything comes into its place and not every gloom transforms into light.

Surely, there is a struggle with every constructive process that has to bear a certain outcome.

Similarly, when I think of becoming a writer or someone who wants to publish stuff online for people to read, I want the reader to get a real sense of what I am going through.

While I try to do all that I also intend to plant some seeds of curiosity and thirst, enabling the reader to understand whatever I am writing about.

Every writing you come across is a certain kind of sharing. Some share their life experience; some share their fears and delights and some like me struggle more to share something that can have a positive impact.

So why am I even here?

The question that I will try to answer so my future readers can learn and understand their role in all of this play.

The first and foremost thing people consider when they adopt something is the ease and comfort it provides. People go for things that take little or no effort and in return give out a certain sort of pleasure.

To start with something to mention, people do drugs for a reason. On the opposite frontier, people do things that they love and understand well.

They do it for the sake of pleasure that comes from accomplishing the task at hand. It can be anything from any human field of work.

My purpose in being here is to learn firsthand because that’s what happens whenever you delve deep into something. You learn to handle the bare truth about that thing you do.

You keep doing it for a while and you start understanding the nature of it and the aspects you didn’t even think about.

If you ponder over little things in life, these things can transform you into a more enlightened soul.

So, I am here to share whatever I have and will experience in life, whatever I come across, and what that thing teaches me.

People might think why all of this when there is already a lot over the internet and so many people are becoming writers every day.

The answer to that question is that I just love the magic of the written word. The mere transformation of ink into something extraordinarily eye-opening.

The second reason is my passion for writing, why?

Because every word you put on a paper or online platform has a purpose and function. Nothing in this world is completely void of a motive.

So, when I start writing it brings warmth to the very soul of mine. It cheers me up when I hit publish or post.

It fills me up with bliss when I hear someone say something about my writing. When I get to listen to someone who read something I wrote, and it moved the person.

Passion in life is a necessary ingredient for a tasteful life. It enriches the meaning of what we comprehend as life.

Third, I consider writing as an act of kindness towards ignorant souls.

A well-crafted piece of writing to enlighten someone or enhance someone’s understanding of a subject is truly an enchanting experience.

An empty glass can be filled with whatever fluid you like to taste. In the same way, words can be filled with any emotion you want people to experience regarding something you think is valuable for their lives.

That’s a kindness of sort to help someone understand something completely or an aspect of it. All that with a motive to bring sheer positivity.

Lastly, it’s all about how I want to live my life and spend it to have a good impact on others as well.

In today’s society, online platforms are filled up with so much stuff that’s not even real, but people are crazy about it all.

You should learn one thing about all this social media and stuff that goes online, it’s not about how things are on the surface but what’s inside.

You see an apple so red and so fresh that you want to take a bite instantly when it is presented to you. But you don’t think of what might be hiding inside or it may be filled with worms unless you cut it into pieces and see for yourself.

All that fame and popularity that circles around the internet aren’t valuable if it doesn’t have a good impact on a common person.

The need of the hour is to create something long-lasting to bring the good in people and things and present good as good and bad as bad.

One shouldn’t paint something crazy as sane. Whatever you do ultimately falls into its place, when you do something with love and care for the living things around you, you can bring positive change.

So, I am here because I love writing and I will write whatever I think is good for a change.

I am at least going to try so if you are listening, stay tuned. I will write and just write, no matter what.

I hope you all get something inspirational and full of life out of reading my work.

I hope and pray that may Lord fill your life with serenity, self-consciousness, and a desire to help others heal.

Stay blessed. :)
