      MY JOURNEY AS AN EMERGING AUTHOR
      
        "I believe one becomes an author or a poet when their emotions, imagination, and sensitivity find no one around who truly understands or shares them. When a perspective is so uniquely personal that it’s often overlooked or dismissed, it begins to seek refuge in words. Writing, then, becomes the most precise way to express thoughts and unspoken feelings to those willing to listen, even if they exist beyond one’s immediate circle."
      
      The journey of becoming a writer often begins with the search for kindred souls—those who resonate with these emotions and ideas. That search becomes the foundation of one’s literary path.
      My own journey began in much the same way. As a child, the only person who truly listened to me was my father. Yet, whenever we discussed anything, my perspective often stood in stark contrast to his. Our conversations would spiral into long debates and sometimes even scoldings when my views clashed too strongly with his. I often found myself wondering: Who will listen to what I truly feel?
      In my quest to resolve the conflict brewing within, I wrote my first poem. It felt like a revelation. I must have read it to myself a hundred times, and each time, it felt as though my unspoken thoughts had finally found a home in my diary, through my pen. From that moment on, whenever an idea or emotion stirred restlessness inside me, I would sit down and write. Writing became my sanctuary—a place where storms settled into clarity and calm.
      I don’t write merely to find solace for myself. I write in the hope of walking alongside those who, like me, feel the joy or ache of having perspectives that set them apart. I hope to make this journey more memorable and adventurous by sharing it with others who wish to connect, express, and give voice to their untold stories.
      So here I am, inviting you to join me on this journey of sharing emotions, sensitivity, and joy through words. Welcome to a world where writing builds bridges, and feelings find their truest expression. Together, let’s make this creative voyage unforgettable.
