Why did i start writing?

I opened my eyes. It was already morning, but still dark. I went to the bath and came back to my warm bed. Screen lighted up from my touch and i saw the clock. It was 6:20 a.m. I thought to start the day, but my body wanted to take more rest.I closed my eyes thinking of what i should write today...

Yesterday at online course at Future Learn i’ve been asked, why i’ve started writing.

«My dear diary!…»

I loved writing from my school time. I don’t mean language and literature lessons, but writing by myself. As any other girl (as i believe) i had a diary. Every time it was a different notebook. I’m still obsessed with real paper notebooks, even if i like writing on my computer.

So i used to write about love and friendship and my dreams. Every spring i was drawing my perfect summer on the page of the diary. I don’t remember everything i’ve dreamed about. But i can say that every time an island with white sand and coconut palm have been involved into my girl dreams. This one actually came true just one monce ago at Krabi…

Writing = being psycho?

My mom didn’t want me to keep writing the diary. She heard on TV or from friend, that this is a sign of mentally unbalanced person. I mean writing your diart is really like conversation with yourself, but c’mon, i’m not a psycho!

So, i started hiding just to write a new memo in my fluffy pink notebook. And i was always secret and shy of what i was writing. It was mine and nobody’s else. I didn’t have real friends, so i had a conversation about friends and boys with myself.

I’ve become a rock star!

I grew up and left writing. But came back to it latter, when internet appeared in my home. It was all the same, but now online. Thanks to the power of LiveJournal i’ve found new friends. And they’ve brought me into music journalistics.

This was real love. I loved music, i loved concerts and i loved writing about all this. Almost every time i borowed a camera from friend, so i had not only text report, but photos of favorite bands. I could attend 6 concerts per week and write about all of them.

It was crazy and happy times. But i didn’t have a journalist degree, so some texts really sucked :D And i didn’t like all the bullshit comments under my articles. But i loved what i was doing.

Thanx to writing i could attend concerts for free and meet real musicians in person or at list on stage! Linkin Park, Depeche Mode, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kasabian, 3o Seconds To Mars, Muse, Placebo, Hurts, The Vaccines and so on. Music heaven, damn!

Everything changed, my life went in a different way and writing came down to social networks. I’ve started to learn how everything works and already for 4 years i do social media marketing.

That means that i keep writing, but in a form of posts on band’s and brand’s pages. This is still interesting, especially when you can control the content plan. But different…

I’ve started writing on my Facebook and VK pages. It didn’t feel like real old style blogging, so i’ve started this one and now share my thoughts with 2–7 readers on Medium.

Why did i start writing? I just love it! ❤
