FINALLY, THE BEGINNING...

And so finally, I am doing this… 

I have so many excuses listed in my mind that put me off from starting my own blog.

1. I am not sure if my blog is unique enough to stand out from the others;

2. I am not certain if I have the time to write and sustain a blog;

3. I am not confident that my blog will be read by as many people as I hoped it would.

Eventually, I realized that all these excuses are in fact fears that thwart me from enabling my passion of “translating my thoughts into words.”

I have always nurtured my affinity for writing as a profession and as a hobby. And I have constantly loved dispensing commentaries and ideas, both critical and constructive, which has usually been an unconscious tendency.  Thus, starting this venue as a regular writing exercise and a creative exhibit of my thoughts seems quite logical and long overdue.         

Admittedly, it took me a while to start up this blog. The only acceptable reason I can use to my own defense is that I consider this endeavor as VERY PERSONAL. It’s not often that I allow my mind to be scrutinized in this chaotic and judgmental world of the internet, and that really scared the hell out of me.     

But there have already been so many instances that finally convinced me to do this. And I cannot ignore anymore that nagging voice inside me saying “just do it!” I simply have to take comfort in the thought that pursuing this endeavor is better than living with that regretful feeling of not doing it at all. 

So here I am, writing away… And having the nerve to write off all those excuses blocking my way…  This is the BEGINNING of my cerebral workout and writing voyage, and I am FINALLY doing this…
