Why write?

The month of May has passed, and now we can welcome June! Alhamdulillah. The month of Ramadhan is getting near, and let's ask ourselves every single day, are we REALLY prepared to greet Ramadhan to gain its full barakah (blessings)? May Allah accept. =)

Today, I am intrigued to make this post on why I write. Or in other words, why do I even bother to

Here's a quote that I love and practice. =)

create a blog where hardly anyone ever visits? Erk! *Runs away and hide*
Eheh. To be honest, the only answer that comes up in my mind is : I have absolutely no idea. Maybe it's because of the thrill and happiness that I find when I write. Maybe it's because that I had always have a passion in writing ever since 7 years ago -- the first time I started blogging! Or maybe because I felt challenged by the encouragements that people had given me to begin writing again. Or is it probably because blogging is trending again? There is no absolute answer. It might be any one of those, and personally, I really don't know.

I remember, around 4 or 5 years ago, there was an incident where promptly after it, I vowed and promised myself that I will never go back to the blogging world. But, I guess, once you are passionate about something, no matter how far you want to go just to avoid it, you just can't. The desire to write was overwhelming, so I start blogging again, and then I'll stop again, and then I'll start again. That was how I was for 2 or 3 years, and now, in 2014, I vow to not stop ever again. Why? Well, as someone who only knows how to express herself by writing, I think that this is the passion that I will not let go and this is the potential that I know I can improve with time, more reading and with perseverance. Eh?

Other than wanting to be a psychologist, it has been a long-time desire and dream of mine to engage myself in the field of journalism or to be a part of the writers' community. I may be an amateur and a beginner in this, but I know, with hard work, and with patience, I can make it to the top. Though, honestly speaking, I don't think popularity and fame are really my goals, but rather, I find this space, this writer's space is a place where I can and WILL share goodness, give out benefits and spread awareness to all humanity. With the wills of Allah, of course. Biidznillah!

I truly believe that, though reading isn't a trend anymore for most of us, I still believe that, if I try harder in this, I will make people see that the world of writing (and reading) is essential, especially in self-development and growth. And especially IMPORTANT for the betterment of our Ummah!

Then again, if I were to ask myself now again, why do I write? My answer still is the same. I really have absolutely no idea. But I still do it anyway! Out of interest, passion and fulfilling my own desire, I guess. May Allah accept this little, small bit of deed I'm trying to do.

"Start small but think BIG."
Biidznillah. =)
