Dear diary, it has been a long time since I've written to you. I can't even remember when was our last heart to heart talk. I remembered that I could say all my thoughts to you (because you will never complain), so I'm writing this to you now. What I like about you is you're just there listening in the background, or maybe reading what I'm writing.
I've been through a lot, so I have a lot of stories to tell. And just like many other stories, some of them are happy, some are sad, and sometimes they're both happy and sad. Don't get confused. It's just me.
One story was when I first started writing short stories for my series. I would never forget how excited I was thinking about the possibilities and its potential. I thought of how big could it get when many have come to recognize and appreciate my series. If ever that came true, I would imagine myself as the happiest person on earth.
Just knowing that someone is reading my writing makes me feel so rewarded. I think I would be overwhelmed and excited to know who else is my reader. I wish that one day, I get to publish my series into a book. I would read it over and over then I would read my name written as the author. It will be a happy memory that I wish will come true.
And yes, a sad story is next. I think life is not complete if there are no misfortunes. As they say, sad stories make beautiful stories. And stories as such can make you feel the realization of experiences from people who experienced it.
Are you going to hit me if I told you that I once belittled myself? I did before. I fell into depression because I failed to show that I can do it and that my decision is right. When I failed, that's when I felt like no one believed in me, that I was alone all along. But just like any other sad stories, I can't blame anyone.
Although I had those ups and downs, I learned that I could be happy and sad whenever I want. I don't need a reason to feel like it. I can be who I want whenever I want. And just like becoming successful, it is a choice you are free to choose and take on. It's all up to you, the end.
