The First of 1000 Steps

I’m not a fan of what is considered the ‘YOLO’ mindset. I could be wrong, but it feels like a reckless action for the sake of being reckless. However, there is something to be said about taking a brave leap into the unknown, unsure whether or not you will succeed. There was a time where I thought I could never be a writer because mostly what I did was simply a hobby and nothing more. As time went on, I grew increasingly dissatisfied with what I was exposed to and felt that even though my writing was far from professional, I could do better. Or at least, write something that I would be satisfied with. Over the past few years, it’s taken me a significant amount of time and money, with what little I have left, to relearn how to write, take criticism, and work with others to create something, I feel, is worth the time and money of people who are looking for something they might like. Regardless if this succeeds or fails spectacularly, this was a journey I’m glad I undertook.
