I decided I would have to start blogging again, if I
ever want my dream of writing a book come true someday. I was never
the outspoken type, often so reserved, and for someone like me who can't always
express herself spontaneously in conversations, more power is found in the
written word than the spoken one. Looking back, writing has always been one of the few things
that could make my heart jump, from that fueling moment when inspiration
strikes until that satisfying point when the last period is dotted. I can
also recall priceless moments in my life when writing was the only way for me
to stay true to myself -- to defend a friend, to turn down a suitor, to pay
tribute to a loved one. For whatever purpose it may serve, written words
can be immortalized forever, and the possibility of having at least one person
at the receiving end of your message or story, is an opportunity to touch their
hearts.
