Life, as we know is not always we expect to be. Life may start the way you want to, but in the process, it may undergo something that you never knew will happen. Sometimes in life, you do the things which is precisely the easy way. A life that you wanted to have, wanted to achieve, wanted to reach, a life that you always dream of. All these things and happenings in our daily life might be connected into our future. I know people know it, that what you do today what might become of you tomorrow. Let me tell you my story, it might not be that interesting, but I’ll share it to you as I want it.
I know people have different lifestyles and goals, but mine was so simple. Here’s one, I wanted to have what an average person dreams of, to travel, to visit new places, to see art in different cultures, simply to put it all up, to explore what’s new. It may not happen now but I hope it may happen in the future. This was the journey of life I want. I won’t be contented with that doing alone, yes I may, but I really wish with someone. I have also hobbies, but these hobbies are not all being done, only sometimes. I missed some hobbies that I wanted to do along the road of my life, but the busyness I get, I easily forget it. This might be hard for me sometimes, for there are really things I want to do but keep on failing to do for I am being busy.
Here is just the beginning, I say. Someone introduced me to this community, but the way he told me was the benefit. Amazed I was, thinking about what could I possibly gain in joining this kind of community. I answered him by asking more about this and that. He told me the basics and that there would be people of the community that would assist me in my entry. I automatically agreed and quickly created an account. As I waited for days for the confirmation to pop-out from my mailbox, I asked more about this. He invited me to a group for newbies. Later on he invited me to a group where people from my own country are together and united to help each other. I was literally amused with this kind of people, people who work together, people who have sense of teamwork, people who are telling you to try. It’s not that I know them already, I was just behind the seat reading what the guys are talking and discussing about. The day came that I was approved and officially a member of the community, happy I was that I could try this as an experience in life. I told my friend that I’m in the zone. He said go now and make your introduction and if I need help, ask the people around the group. Took a deep breath and started to chat with the guys. I was overjoyed with them responding to me with a warm welcome. They told me the hints and necessities. After my introductions to my fellow country mates I planned on what to write on my next introduction, and that is to the whole community. I was quite worried about what to write, for I’m no good in describing myself, but suddenly something came up to my mind, “why not try?”. There I thought about myself when I was a kid. I wasn’t the type of kid that’s so playful. I was the body and brain function is to study, although sometimes I play but most often I study. My mother is a teacher, she’s still young that’s why in her early 50’s she’s still working as a teacher. She is so dedicated, so proud of her. Back to my story, as I grew up from a kid to a teenager, I was most often doing this kind of things, drawing, writing and reading. As I saw some posts in the group and in the community, I thought of those three little things I do for a hobby. Simply I thought, “Whoa! Can I do what others are doing here?”
As I saw posts on the community, I immediately rethink of my own amateur skills. I know I can draw, I know I can write, and I know I love reading. It’s the feeling that you already lost in the way but suddenly crashed into it again. I felt so excited to the max level. I was like, a kid who couldn’t wait to eat an ice cream. So I started making an introduction, it was so short, but I couldn’t think of anything yet. I planned to make it longer but I was preferring to do it short for I was like not so good in writing. Sometimes I think that maybe writing could express what I’m feeling now, but I just couldn’t release it. There I asked for assistance to the professionals. They helped me right away, so I asked for more. I thoroughly read what they need to say and I agreed on what they suggest. Nights passed but I’m not worrying about rushing, I just thought I’ll do the writing what my capability can do. There I revised my introduction and write this things; about myself, describing what I really want, skills that I have, even though is not that awesome, and the things I like. It was so simple, and I showed it to the community. They said it was great, if I can make it longer it would be greater. And I thought I can’t think more about myself. I guess in the process of knowing more about this community and learning what they posts maybe I can learn more too, about myself. I know they’ll help me, for I really think that this community is about helping each other to excess what our self is capable of. The people around in a group I have, they are kind and approachable. They can easily answer my questions for I am just a newbie. So I felt so amazing to myself and this whole community. I know I was a part of a little community in my beginning, the nation’s pride group. I’m not worrying about it, for I know people in the group will do their best at helping the people who is in need of their assistance.
I chose pictures from the gallery of my android phone to include it on posting my introduction. I chose only one by they suggest to put more, so I check for more. When I was writing about my introduction I felt like I myself is expressing the words through my mind and my hands just keep on doing his job, to write it all down, everything that comes up from my mind. It’s like I don’t know anymore if this is the way it should be, or even my grammar is correct. It’s just I keep on writing whatever it is. My mind just keep on thinking what to write down. The feeling that I can’t even control on what’s going on in my mind, but it’s kind of fun. I’m like letting it all out, it may sounds crazy but I’m just doing what my minds tells me to do so. It interests myself. I was thinking, this wasn’t a part of me before, for I forgot that I really like to write. I didn’t expect that I have this simple joy in writing by expressing what I feel right now and what my mind is telling me. The moment I start typing, it automatically goes on until my mind pauses and if it rethinks again, the writing continues.
As I have posted my very first post, it was the introduction of myself. I thought one thing, “was it good enough?” I mentioned the ones who assisted me for this. I tagged the group and the things that relates my post. Waited the next day for the comments to appear. I saw good news, even I was expecting the bad ones. It was all a welcome for me to the community. On that moment, it had thought me that maybe I could be myself in writing here. I could write anything, for the people who commented guides me to reach the goals I wanted to have.
I really didn’t expect that this one moment in my life could come back to me. Where I am free to do the things that satisfies my living. I’m like simply alive again, this 2017 made me experience the awesomeness of life. I had recently graduated from college, met the girl I didn’t expect, had a memorable adventure during summer, accepted in a job I applied but sadly I’m not anymore in there for it pressured me a lot, and met this community and simply inspired me.
Then I planned for my second post. I had found two old identification card in my old drawer in my room at our house, and took a picture of it to use it as a throwback post. I felt memories were coming back to me, it might be only for a year of experience in high school and still it was a great time I didn’t waste. Write all down the not expecting of my childish brain will end up sooner. Yes it ended, but sometimes there is a next season in to be expected, for I am quite childish still nowadays. What makes me feel like, is the satisfaction of writing. I know people are experiencing daily is mostly the way they want it. Yes I had that also, but I came to reality and grow up, facing the true meaning of doing what a normal person does in their daily life. After college, find work, then work, work until you gather money, work until you buy what you wanted, work until you have your own house, work until you can manage the budget of having a family, and more. I know it will come to me soon but then when I met this community I feel like, what I do in my daily life I could share it to them. Not only share it to them, but by process I’m writing what could be better for the taken pictures’ caption should be. The way I’m writing makes me contented a missing part of me, not that I have the skills on it, but the desire on writing that was hidden in me that I couldn’t release it out. The community is reason that made me do the things I missed out, one is writing, then reading, and drawing which I really want. They will come at me again, so I am honoured to be a part of the community, with the guys in it helping me to reach out the goals I wanted to have.
Life is not really that awesome, but sometimes you can make it happen. I know money is one of the reason why people can’t reach their dreams, and even sometimes having more money is their dream. But me? Meeting and becoming a member of this community is the most spotlight of my 2017. I am not that sociable but I can manage myself for people around are approachable and especially I’m new to them. My life is simply amazing even I don’t meet the dreams yet, but slowly I’m approaching to it. Steemit community, I couldn’t be happy enough that I am a part of your community. Steemians, I am still a newbie but thank you for reminding me that dreams do come true. Lastly to say, life might be complicated, but we can still move on and wait, some unexpected happenings might come right at you anytime and in any moment. Don’t forget to thank God always. God is always the center of our life, he always work in mysterious ways. Me? just hoping my 2017 will end with awesomeness.

No it doesn't sound crazy at all because I'm experiencing it also, same goes with my friend @deeday31. I think it's normal if you let yourself go outside your own box.
