a girl. a book. and her imagination.

chic chronicles, episode 3.

Ever since I was young, I have always been quite an avid writer. Whether my writing made a head or tail of sense didn’t matter to me. I let my imagination take me to different places, ideas sometimes even realms and dimensions of vague possibilities branching out of the book I had just read. My go to references were the mere ‘Magical Treehouse’ and the ‘Rainbow Magic’ series. I had a little book where I made my own fairy with her own little backstory, kicking up my feet and giggling as I penned down a story. Just me, my book and my imagination.

I have always thought writing was such a fun thing to do but as I grew older, I grew busier and I realised that none of my friends had written anything in their life. I thought I was the weird one being all up in my mind creating delusional scenarios and new possible realities. Slowly, I lost the touch that I had with my writing. I lost the thing that I once held so dearly as a 7 year old child. I rekindled my love via the well-known app in the community: Wattpad. Oh yes, Wattpad with its outrageous fan fictions posed as a space for people who loved writing, a place to share those crazy weird scenarios; publicly posted or not. It made me fall in love with writing all over again. And now here I am. Now that book I had is converted into a personal diary as I note down events that occurred in my life (am trying my best to be consistent with it).

Fast forward to today, I currently am on my journey of self-improving my writing in any aspect I can via Substack. I want to try new writing styles, attempt new pieces - fiction and non-fiction. I think writing is such an important skill that so many lose or don’t have. Because articulation in writing is as important as articulation in speaking. Ideas to be shared with the world. Ideas to be reiterated. Ideas to look down 20 years down the line and look back at it with nostalgia. Here I am, just me, my laptop and my love for writing.

Thank you for reading if you made it all the way! Here is a cookie : 🍪. Sending love, take care and know that you are amazing. <3
