Many people who don't really know me always thought that my fond of food is what brings this blog to life. It's not entirely wrong as I do love food and I loveeee to eat. Food has always been one of my biggest weaknesses.
However, when I created this blog, it's actually more of my passion on writing and I consider this blog to be the platform. Since I can remember, I have always love to write. Being a private person who takes privacy very strong, I don't really like to share about my life even to those who are close to me. Hence, when the feelings kept inside has exceed its quota, I find comfort in pouring it on writings, since then, writing has always soothed me.
Being an occasional introvert, I grew up loving books way too much. During my teenage years, Mom said I always prefer books as gift rather than something else. My younger days are about Japanese comics, fiction and teen novels, but as I grew older, I find more comfort in reading non fiction and motivational books.
I personally find reading enriches me in so many ways. It's amazing how you can learn and get motivated by people's writing.
Speaking of...
I used to love to read one of local fashion bloggers' blog as I love her writings. She used to share a lot more personal and motivating stories. When she becomes more popular and start to write less on motivating stories and more into commercial, I stopped following her blog. It's nothing personal, I understand some bloggers would be more commercial when there's opportunity and money's involved. It's not wrong. After all, money is not everything but everything needs money. Though I personally wish she wouldn't change that much and keep writing more personal and enlighting posts instead of only about endorsements and paid advertisements. But again, it's a blog and people can write whatever they want with their own.
Anyway, the reason I wrote the post was to ask for any recommendation on a good blog you think I should be following. Something with inspirational and motivating writings works well with me. I would really appreciate the suggestion, if any. You can write me at ivy9_in@yahoo.com. Thank you so much!
Desperately need to be inspired,
Ivy
