Internal Voices

   It's been so long since the last time I have written something. I remember how busy I was studying, writing my thesis and living abroad. So I put writing a side for a while. But that while took so long. 
   I finished my studies, got my degree, graduated and went back home and started working. Yet, I did not write again.
    Part of me was telling me not to write, people no longer read. And even these few people who still read, they only read novels. Who is going to read what you write? Another part of me tells me not to write either, writing will make you famous. And when people become famous, they get drawn behind lights and money and they change. You will no longer be yourself, nor someone you know!
   In the deepest part of me, there was a little voice saying: "hey, write. Write for people. Help them with your knowledge and experience. Bring them hope and happiness. Share your experiences and problems. If sharing does not solve problems, it helps us look at them in a smaller scale. However, that voice was very weak that I could not hear during those days. As the noise of my life and cercumstances was way louder.
   Years have passed and I did not know what happened to my blog. One day, I was listening to an audio book talking about someone who had a blog he left. I got curious to know what happened to my blog. Is it still populated? Or people are no longer reading it as I have thought? Here was the surprise, there were people reading it, from many many parts on this globe! 
   Only then, I heared that little voice. The little voice that has been always trying to encourage me to share and write. It came from you my dear readers. So thank you very much. Thank you for always being there. Even when I was not there! This is all what I could say. I hope I was able to transfer my honest feelings to you all.
So from now on, I will write and share everything I think is useful, using an electronic pen. And I hope all what I write reaches the whole world and helps as many people as possible.
