What makes you feel truly alive? What excites you every time you do it? What activity lets you pour your heart out and lose track of time because you enjoy it so much? What is rewarding and fulfilling?
Do those things more often.
I’m talking about your passion. No matter what others say, keep at it. Even if no one appreciates it or supports you, keep going. Remember why you started in the first place.
WRITING
For me, that passion is writing. It makes me feel alive, and even though I have much to learn, I started and want to keep going.
Honestly, there are times when I just stare at my screen, unable to type anything—writer’s block. It’s frustrating and happens often, but deep inside, I want to keep writing no matter what.
Whether you have readers or not, whether you have supporters or none at all, just keep doing it.
Does it matter if someone appreciates what you do? I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t. It does affect me, especially when no one reads or comments. It feels like someone is rolling their eyes whenever I post something.
The truth is, not everyone will be there for you. But if you find someone who supports and encourages you, appreciate them.
I always go back to the truth that I don’t write for recognition or appreciation. I do it because of the happiness it brings when I publish something. It’s for me, for my passion. I love writing and should do it more often.
One thing that holds us back is worrying too much about what others think. We’re scared of being judged, laughed at, or looked down upon.
But the scariest part is not doing what we love while we have the chance. Life is short.
Pursue what makes you come alive. NOW is the right time.
