I used to think the feeling of accomplishment that I get after I managed to complete a draft of writing is unacceptable. Even when I managed to publish them here, I used to think that I don’t deserve that feeling, I am far from perfect and from who I wanted to be, so why should I celebrate it?

However, not until today when I came upon the quote above.


Writing is a commitment to yourself. I write for the sake of my passion which gave me the freedom to choose, think, imagine and explore. I find a different kind of solitude when I’m trying to type one word after another. I guess it’s a form of huge commitment when you did finish what you started. And I believe, not everybody could stick to their commitment. Especially when it doesn’t come from the heart, but in the cause of applause.

So writers,

Go pat yourself on the shoulder and say,

“Well done, self!”
