“To survive, you must tell stories.”
-Umberto Eco, The Island of the Day Before
People win wars through swords and shields. I can conquer battles with only paper and pen.
HI hive community! I’m Kian, (and yes, I am a girl). I am currently a 4th year BS Chemistry student from Sto.Domingo, a small town in Albay Bicol.
Writing has always been a part of me since I was a kid. Since 6th grade, I was already part of our school publication. I only stopped writing when I entered college because I wanted to focus on my degree. This is actually the first time that I am going to try blogging. Different questions ran through my head while writing this.
“Will they like my works?”
“Am I going to be successful here?”
Yes, "first times" are always scary but how will I grow if I kept on staying in my comfort zone, right?
I write for two main reasons: to express and to escape.
I write to express. Writing is telling stories. I want to express myself through the use of words. I feel like I can connect more to the world with writing.
Escape. Our world can be a messy place sometimes. I use writing as a way to escape from its madness. Whenever I am writing, I feel like I am in another realm with no responsibilities. It acts as a safe haven for me
I love reading! I feel like whenever I am reading a book, I can be another person. I also like to get lost in the world of stories. With reading, I gain knowledge regarding the different aspects of life. Reading books played a big part in my passion as a writer.
I love adventures! Nature is breathtakingly beautiful and I can’t wait to explore it more and share all my wonderful travels with you!
I am also into movies, series, animes, etc. I also play mobile games.
Here are some of the topics that you might encounter in my future blogs:
I am so happy to be part of this community. Nice to meet you, everyone!
Since I started this post with a quote, might as well end it with another one.
