I was blog-hopping a while ago, just before I wrote this entry. I read a couple of blogs whose owners are of my age. They were talking about how their days went, how they spent their weekends, who they hung out with, what they did and the like. You know, the happy life? And then, I look at my own blog and read my entries. And I realized that I don't always talk about those kinds of things here. It made me wonder why.

Sure, those kinds of things make me happy. Hanging out with my friends, bonding with the family, conversations over coffee, shopping, listening to music and all those other things we do for fun. I enjoy them a lot. But if I really do, then why do I not write about it?

If you read my entries, all that you can read are my realizations, principles, lessons learned, maybe even regrets. And you'll probably know who I am, just by reading them. In my world, words like mistakes, regrets, realizations, change are a little too overused. I can't help it. It's who I've become. I'm taking life more seriously now. I owe myself that. I've been living my life by going with the current. It's time I live it the way I want it. And this is how I want to live it.

I think the reason why I don't write about what others write about is because I want to be different because I am. I beg to differ. Yes, we go through the same kinds of things, not totally the same but similar. And if I'm going to write about the same thing, then I would probabaly be lying because it's not what I want to write about.

So, why do I write, you ask? I write because I love writing. It's a break from the artsy fartsy world. You may find it ironic that a person who loves drawing, loves writing too.

I write because I want to prove something, something that I don't know yet. Maybe I do. Maybe I'm proving it to you already.

I write because I want to tell you how I feel. I want to express myself through writing like how I express myself through my art.

I write because I want to make a difference. I want my articles to matter to someone. I want others to learn from what I write. I want others to learn from my mistakes and my experiences. I want you to learn from my story. I want others to find hope in my life.

I write because I want you to know who I am. I want all of you to know that there is so much more to that girl who smiles as if nothing happened, though you all know that she's just keeping it all inside. There's more to me. There's more to my life. And I want to be known for who I've become, who I am now.

This is my silver lining. It's not partying, shopping, hanging around and a lot of other things. They do mean a lot to me. But this means a whole lot more. And to know that I've made a difference in the lives of the people I love is beyond what I wished for. It's when I will know that I've gained more than what I gave. And for me, that's what matters the most in this world.
