Writing

Our stories are the snapshots of our souls, capturing the essence of our journey and inspiring others to find their own path.

I have observed that many successful authors wrote about the vivid experiences they have encountered in their lives. Some authors, like Jack London, embarked on daring adventures, sailing through the vast oceans in search of more experiences to create more captivating content. When we look at those experiences personally, from our perspective, they evoke a range of emotions, such as happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, and more. By packaging these experiences together in our book, we can captivate the audience’s attention, as they too have lived through similar experiences within the same timeline. Without these experiences, we wouldn’t possess such an extensive collection of books and literature.

Even in our day-to-day lives, with its intricate complexities of meeting ends, managing relationships, and navigating through political and religious vulnerabilities, we encounter a plethora of experiences. Some bring pleasure, while others bring sorrow, thrills, challenges, and excitement. These experiences, both our own and those observed in others, provide a wellspring of inspiration for generating wonderful content. When we delve into writing about these experiences, we gain a deeper understanding of various perspectives. This allows us to better comprehend the situations, and the people involved, which often go unnoticed in our busy lives. Ultimately, this process helps us grow as individuals, integrate well with the world around, and improves our ability to respond to future situations. Even if we were to write fantasy, it would be good to connect the essence in them with the current situations so that they will add value. I mean, they help us grow.

“Write to express yourself, not to seek the applause of others.”

Writing to express yourself versus writing to become famous takes you down completely different paths. In one, it is all about feeling what you have seen, where you gain deep insights into your own behavior, understanding of people, and the world around you. It’s a process of personal growth that touches your very core. Your writings carry your signature this way. On the other hand, when you write with the sole purpose of becoming famous, it’s like constantly thinking about how to impress others. The focus shifts from introspection to external validation. In this pursuit, compromises are made, and the genuine exploration of oneself is often neglected, resulting in a lack of personal growth as a human being.

Documenting these experiences helps us to trace back our evolution journey and may even inspire others to embark on their own path of self-discovery. This makes more sense to me compare to looking at photos taken in the past. I do not intend to compare them but only conveying my preference.

Art is a language that transcends words, inspiring and illuminating both the artist and the world

Art isn’t just about writing; it can be expressed in many ways. The same essence we capture in words can be found in sketches, music, dance, poetry, and more. By sharing our thoughts and feelings in our own way, we not only grow personally but also throw light on history and inspire others.
