Writing is a gift given to everyone, however, not everyone could enjoy its benefits. To those who maximize this gift, writing serves as a satisfaction that is inculcated deep into their souls as it serves as the voice of their meek hearts. It serves as a never ending desire to uncover boxed emotions and memories into the world so that everyone could truly appreciate its essence and truly understand its mystery. Many obstacles hinder us from our passion of writing. However, these obstacles could serve as motivations for us to be able to surpass and conquer these failures.

Writing had been the one of the reasons why history had been kept until today. It had started and ended wars. It had comforted broken dreams. It had built relationships and friendships. It had been an outlet of angst and grief for some. It had been the spark of hope for some to continue their lives and never to give up on their failures. It had been the only witness to a persons mind, heart and soul.

Writing, however, had never been a paid profession for some. As the internet age boomed as the new century unveils, newspapers had been replaced by news websites and journals had been replaced by blogs. This transformation made a big opportunity for a bigger number of populations to earn money than before where you need to be a professional writer for you to be heard and be paid. In spite of having a broader avenue for writers to express themselves in this computer age, many are still not making good money from it but it is never a reason for them to give up this passion.

THE PASSION OF WRITING

I write because it had been my passion since I was in primary school. I was always praised by my teachers for my writings and I was really proud of myself every time that happens. I personally do not know how my love for writing started since there is no writer in my family or even in my relatives. This gave me the idea that writing could be a gift that I had developed as I gave importance on it.

Many of us write because we just want to express our feelings. Some just write because it is required in their school or it is part of their job. However, if we look at things about writing more deeply, when you write beyond school requirements and beyond monetary compensation, this means that you are writing because it is your passion. Writing had been a reason for you to live and it had been a reason for you to struggle and overcome life's obstacles.

Writing is a gift that would never fade.
