"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it..."
I have chosen to write. Even when I was six years old, reading Enid Blyton for the first time, I knew that I wanted to tell stories one day. That is the mark I plan to leave on the world.
I met an engineering student recently who believes in productivity above all else; he feels that if he is not doing something to improve the world, he is wasting time - any time spent relaxing is time wasted, because it helps nobody. It's a noble notion, but I disagree.
Many people feel that you are wasting time if you read, or watch movies, or write. Writing isn't often taken seriously as a career option, but that doesn't mean it's just a hobby. By appreciating art, we learn so much about the world and about ourselves. That's why I have a passion for creating art. If I can learn more about myself through my writing, and help others to do the same, then I am improving the world. And my time won't be wasted.
I hope you enjoy my stories.
