What was writing for me in the past
Looking back to when I was a kid, I see myself as an
introvert. Sure I had friends, but just a very few close ones. I was an only
child for 16 years and never once did I ever feel lonely having no siblings. I
take comfort on being alone. I was the
type who can be happy alone, playing dress-up Barbie and reading Peanuts or
Archie comic books. My bedroom was my “happy place” and my diary was my
confidant. Expressing thoughts out loud to other people was not typical of my
young self; I was always the shy one. Thanks to my friends back then, I slowly
went out of my shell; they made me feel more empowered being in a group. Then,
there was High School, where I met my lifetime best buddies and the time when I
had a baby sister. That was the time when I became more and more vocal and
outgoing. But you know what they say! Old habits are hard to break. I still
find myself having my alone time and writing my well-kept thoughts in a
journal.
The change
Fast forward to the present, after university, a few jobs and being a single mom, Patzee is an introvert no more. I now know the importance of expressing myself and my opinions when needed. I’m actually quite outspoken now, part of it, maybe because my experiences molded me to stand up for my rights, and one of which is my right to be heard.What is writing for me now
This is why I'm here. I will be 30 in a few days and I'd like to start a blogging journey. Well, I actually have written a few blogs in the past that I never follow through. This time, I’m going to do it religiously. This is where I will be channeling my inner thoughts about a lot of things. I will write about things that I love and like doing, you will see me write about my experiences being a mom, about food (of course!), about family, relationships, and everything else in between.TTFN,
Patzee
