Me & My Writing Mood

For a pretty long while now I’ve been so NOT into writing. I simply lost interest in writing and let my many to-do things take control and keep me happily busy.

Now that I come to think of it, I guess it’s not just about my writing mood, I believe my life is taking a whole new direction, a direction which I never thought existed. It’s like I’m becoming a different person, not that I’m not my old self anymore, but it’s more like me being my old self plus many other “new selves” I had no idea about. I feel stronger, I’m being more positive, more energetic, more ambitious and more determined.
I must say I’m so proud to carry all these positive feelings at a time from which many people have warned me. I mean many people I know enjoyed scaring the hell out of me when they knew I was having a baby, and kept telling me nothing will be the same again, you wont be able to do this and that, you wont be able to enjoy what you used to enjoy when you had no kids…and all that jazz!
It’s very true nothing is the same anymore… it’s even better! It’s true there are more exhausting responsibilities, but they add this amazing flavor to my life and make it worth living!

Today I came across a very mind-provoking quote by John Greenleaf Whittier: “For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’”
It’s really great to realize our potential, believe in who we are, and do what we really want to do, and be what we’ve always wanted to become so that we’d avoid a day when we’d regret wasting the chance when we had it.
I don’t know how many actually believe that human potential knows no limits, but those must be the ones making the best out of their lives, and those are the ones less likely to utter the saddest words…

Ok, I guess it’s official now; my writing mood is ON, big time…
