A Boy Still Lost In The Woods

I’m somewhat a successful Digital Marketer. Quite valuable in the market right now and I have earned a 5 figured income for quite some time. I made a number of successful campaigns over the years and I’m quite proud of that.

I even built my own academy. Albeit it’s still in its infancy stage but sooner or later, it’ll grow and it’ll be successful.

Yet, I still find myself lost.

I loved watching Sex And The City and Confessions of A Shopaholic (my guilty pleasures) because these movies are about a girl who’s a writer and they write for fashion magazines. Okay so not entirely but the main point is, these girls are writers…

I miss writing.

I miss wanting to become a writer.

I grew up watching these movies and they inspired me to write back when I was younger. I used to write short stories about how my mom shops — Secrets To Bargain Shopping. I gave it to all of my teachers and they went CRAZY.

That’s when I knew, I had a knack for writing. I continued to write poems and a lot of other stuff but I guess as time passes, the passion died down.

As I laid on my sofa today, with a bowl of Hershey Kisses and binging on Sex And The City again… It made me want to become Carrie Bradshaw again.

It sparked that passion within me.

I’ve been writing for Take-Charge.Today as The Boy In The Rainbow Scarf (If you’re a fan of the movie, Confessions of A Shopaholic… You would know I paid tribute to Rebecca Bloomwood with that pseudo name). My stories so far are somewhat okay I guess? I still wish people would read it more or share it with their friends… maybe that’s the validation I needed to pursue this more actively.
