Joy of discovery!
They say, doing something makes one realize the hardships involved in actually achieving it.
I started writing this year. Writing my thoughts, feelings, random rants and ramblings down only to realize that I’m not half as bad as I thought I was and, hell, I even like it.
I never understood poems maybe because I had to ‘by-heart’ them to get those perfect 5 marks, maybe because they were never explained right or perhaps because I just never liked them. But then I wrote one, I knew what I was writing since the concept was concrete in my head. And about 2.5 hours later, it was complete. It felt so good on so many accounts; from actually writing something, to writing something meaningful, to writing something I, my own worst critic, thought was good! I felt so good that I put it out there for people to read it. I got an overwhelming amount of response and all positive ones at that. I was over-joyed. It felt wonderful.
It’s a nice feeling to discover a talent that I didn’t know I had. Now, I don’t know if it was always there but I thought I had such pathetic writing skills that I never tried. In retrospect, maybe I wrote this because I knew what I was writing, I can’t pick a daffodil from a garden and write about it, can I? I’m no William Wordsworth.
But nevertheless, better late than never. All in all, it feels good.
They say doing something makes one realize the hardships involved in actually achieving it, but if you discover the joy of doing it instead of the hardships, you instantly feel the connection.
