I Don't Know What I'm Talking About!

It's not very easy to write, you know. It's not easy to express yourself and be completely honest. For me, it's practically the only thing I can do. Otherwise, everyone else considers me to be naive, or more aptly put, stupid! Writing, to me, is like a solace. An escape. It's the one place I get to express myself wholly and completely. Although I'm afraid of showing it to anyone, because criticism puts me into a bad mood, I know I have to, if I ever dream of being a serious writer. I don't have the talent of Khaled Hosseini or Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, all I have is passion and a desire for success and recognition! I started this blog as a rant towards my mother and sister, who still annoy me to a great extent. I started it, because I had something to say and no one to say it to without sounding whiny and self absorbed! I've never been a vocal person. I'm much better on paper than I am in expressing myself verbally. Writing comes easier to me, than speaking. Talking about something makes me nervous, and as soon as I am nervous, I stammer. I have never been able to look at a crowd during a speech, or a presentation and speak smoothly. And even if I do, my heart beats so hard in my ribcage that it feels like it's going to fall out. Writing makes me forget everything. All my troubles, my worries, ( I know what you're thinking, what should a 16 year old have to worry about? Sometimes I ask myself that!) everything disappears, and for a while it feels like the world is perfect. There's nothing to worry about. Writing makes me feel free like a bird! I love writing! My mom tells me that I should start writing about other things that I love. So that, I can make my blog about something. Up until now, the only things that interest me are literature and mythology. I absolutely adore mythology. And the thing that fascinates me about it is the fact that it is so intricately woven, that it's hard to believe it's not true. I got started on Greek mythology when I read Percy Jackson, Roman, when I read Heroes of Olympus, Egyptian, when I read The Kane Chronicles and of course Hindu after reading Ramayana and the Mahabharata and listening to stories from my grandparents! I'll talk about that later, because right now I'm starving, so I'm gonna go eat lunch! Bye!
