Writing? - Comments

My best friend is motivating me to write, she's helping me a lot. I don't know what I'd do without her, really.

And I used to always tell myself that I'm writing for me, I'm writing because it makes me happy, but I think I just lost my way. And thank you, quoting what your friend said really put a smile on my face. I'm so glad that there are people out there that can be there for others in such ways.

I felt exactly the same way before. But, all my friends had been very supportive. I even went as far as saying that I'm quitting. What's the point of continuing if I'm not good, if I can't produce the perfect piece?

Then, one of my friends told me something that I hold dear close to me. "What's so great about producing the perfect thing if you don't love it? Don't stop doing something you love just because you compare yourself to others. You may not be perfect but it's you. Writing is a part of you. If you stop writing, then, you're not the Annie I know. You're not the Annie that loves to tell stories to others. You're not Annie that always wants to move people with her words."

And that's when I started to realize that she's right. It doesn't matter whether we're good, or bad. What matters is, we do what we love. Even though I don't write as much as I used to, but I'm not quitting either.

I hope you'll feel better and don't stop doing what you love. ^_^
