Find Your Happiness

I was born a writer and nurtured into accepting the gift.

It started when I was 12. I found a super old poetry book in the basement of my grandparents house. The poem that stuck out the most to me was Robert Frost - Hold Fast To Dreams. From there it was continuous curiosity. I then read works of Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou.
But my favorite discovery was the work of my father.

Around the age of 12 is when I started to write my own. 

It started with silly songs and future dreams about making it big. 
I even talked about wanting to major in poetry once I got to college. 

No shade to my parents, but they didn't see the income in that,
So they never supported the thought. (and to be honest, even now I still don't see much of income in it) but what I know for sure is that it soothes me. 

What I'm learning is its not about the money, its about the movement.
The movement of letters dancing into words to paint pictures. 

What I love about the quote above the most is that its true! At least for me lol 
Writing is my source of feeling like me again when I am lost. Its the traffic light that tells me to slow down when I'm moving too fast. It is the peace I could never find in a human.

Now if I would have majored in poetry or creative writing in college, would it have made a difference?
Well yeah! I would have had hella student loans! and Perhaps my thoughts would have been organized better with a broader vocabulary. 

But it isn't about perfect.
It's about what speaks to my soul.

Right?
