I am Alive! Searching for a "Great Perhaps"..

in #blog7 years ago

For those of us who have the average "Social Media Generation" attention span (I personally think I fall into that category as well).. Just scroll down to the bottom for the Hashtag Summary (Only without the actual hastags )!


For those of us with the patience to read the TL/DR Version:


I guess the best writers are the ones who needed the fewest words to express the most so in an attempt to describe my life in the fewest words possible, I would say “I am Alive!” Now, that’s not to only say I am breathing.. I can understand how one would think so.. But it means so much more! “I am Alive” as I want to be… So, if YOU said “I am Alive”, it would be a completely different expression from mine.

I guess I couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old when I decided I wanted to be a writer. Now, anyone who knows anything about the literary world would rightly tell you that this is one of the worst career choices one can make (financially speaking ofcourse). For every J. K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer and Tolkien in the world, there are thousands of Kevins, Georges and Marys who didn’t make it big and still have to work two jobs just to make ends meet.

So naturally, I was advised to follow a different path and I guess, looking back, I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed I listened to them.

I am 25 years old, a fairly successful entrepreneur and an avid traveller. It’s taken me a few years but I have perfected the art of working 2 to 3 hours a day on my businesses (more than one, yes.. I have been blessed) while being completely location independent [In case you’re wondering, jealousy is only natural! Just Kidding.. PRO TIP: Read “The 4-Hour Workweek” by Tim Feriss! Life-changing book.. Can’t recommend it enough! ] (No Affiliation, Unpaid Promotion)

So, with the abundance of free time I have been blessed with, I can finally follow my life-long dream of writing! Not for the money! Although it wouldn't hurt if I could make any.. Let's be honest, only an idiot says 'No Thanks!' to money!

However, apart from all that, my will to write comes from a naive passion I had since I was 5 or 6 years old and now that I have whatever financial stability I have been blessed with, I intend to put all my free time into writing.. I love putting words on paper (the proverbial 'paper'.. Who uses pen and paper to write anymore? Lol..) and for the first time ever, I'll put my work up for the eyes of the world to see.. [Please Be Gentle! So Nervous!]


Why SteemIt?

So, I guess my posts would be about Travelling, Writing, Business and just Life in general!
