The main reason I love writing is probably because it was a talent I picked up by myself. My parents have no idea how much I love to write because I don't think they'd know how to react to that. Ever since I could remember I wrote in diaries constantly ever since the age of 12. I'm the only girl in my family and since I'm not close with my brother I always had to find ways to entertain myself throughout the day. And writing was one activity I enjoyed the most. I would spend a small amount of time everyday just to make an entry in my diary. But it was petty stuffs about what happened at home or school, what drama went on within my circle of friends. Normal boring teenage stuffs. But those entries were how I improved my language in English since my family hardly talk in any language other than Malay. Writing could take you to another form of reality where you feel it's your responsibility to record something significant or present your thoughts in a meaningful way. Just like reading, writing could open your mind unlike any other hobbies.
And this is one hobby I never regret to come across :)
