Entries

“Why writing entries?” that was the first question that came to my mind when our English Language teacher told us we had to do. We were supposed to create a blog in which we had to publish pieces of writings and we were allowed to choose the topics. “It’s a waste of time”, I thought then. “How can you write for 30 minutes about different issues?, that’s not possible”. And then dozens of negative thoughts came to my mind about our given task.
Then, when I wrote my first entries which were about hidden thoughts, feelings or events that were part of my life and I considered them important, I felt relief. It was like a therapy as I’m a quite reserved person unable to speak about my feelings, and this way of writing helped me a lot.
Of course there were times in which I felt blocked and I didn’t know what to write about and as I am not a very creative person, I tended to write about events that happened to other people I know.
Now that the deadline is today and I’m supposed to have ready my 39 entries (and the articles), I decided to write about the effects of writing on me. It may cause me a bit of frustration, as I don’t have enough time to dedicate them; but they also make me feel relief, though I would have never imagined to be writing about me or my thoughts on a blog.
