Today, it’s my birthday. I am 40 now. Thank everyone for your support, love, care and friendship. My family, especially my wife and kids. My friends. My colleagues. And the universe. I am grateful to all of you.
Since at the beginning of last year (2016), I keep asking myself “what do you want to do for the 2nd half of your life?”.
The question is simple. But it’s hard to answer.
There were a lot of revisions, back and forth. Who the hell am I? What I want my life to be?
I learned one thing.
Clarity comes from action. If you want to do something, do it. Then you will know if it is something you really want to do.
Sometimes we just have a wrong through in our mind, wanting to do something. But when we start to actually do it, it’s not really the thing we want to do.
During last year (2016), I exercised this kind of tests a lot, to myself.
I took the time to get to know me (even at this age). I tested out various things I want to do. Today is a good day to announce what I want to do.
I don’t want to run against the time. Life should be more easy and relaxing. We should have time to think and enjoy the moment.
Writing has been one of my passions. I am not a good writer. My English is very limited. But I am happy to spend time, check the dictionary and write short sentences, in a very simple way.
I like to convert ideas into stories.
This year, I decided to give myself a full priority to continue writing and self-publishing more books. And nothing else. I will stop looking to build anything else. I will write. And write. And write.
If it needs, I will wake up in the middle of the night to write. Who else complain you don’t have time to write?
F*ck the time! If you want to write a book, f*ck the time. F*ck it until you make it.
We all have 24/7. If someone can finish a book in 3 months, you can it. Don’t tell me you don’t have the time or don’t know how to write.
If a bird can fly, we all can write.
Special thank to Khmer Bird readers. I know most of you are waiting to read from me. I didn’t write much last year. It is because I was not sure in which direction I focus on.
Today, it’s a special day. I like to announce that I will come back to sit and write. Let’s take this journey together. I will need your support now more than ever.
Cheers.
That’s true! If a bird can fly, we all can write.5 years ago, I am just a girl who want to get inspired by talented people. I love writing that is a reading why I know you. I’m now start my journey as a blogger. I’m also the one who want to convey my ideas to a story. I want my silent show up as words. I want to make my voice being heard by the world. I want to embrace myself with my real identity. I don’t want girl to stay in the darkness and wear masks on their face to be like someone that is not worthy enough as them. I’m looking forward to read your post and to learn from you.
Blessings,
Minear
Hi Minear,
I am glad to hear your commitment in writing. You might want to write about a lot of things. I encourage you to start writing and no need to ask permission from anymore.
Believe in your instinct and start writing from your heart. I am sure people will love to read what you write.
Good luck!
Santel

I wanted to be a writer too when I was in High School. But, I failed as I am so lazy to read and it caused me lazy to write as well.
Me too, I haven’t write anything serious for more than 10 years. Now I think it’s time to write.
