How about you? What's your "gung-ho" moment?

Contrary to how people often describe me: calm, quiet or reserved—I’d like to believe that I am a real-life gung-ho or fighter.

I find comfort in staying behind the scenes and blending into the background where most people aren’t. I guess I am built that way or that different (by default).

But I am a “gung-ho” when it comes to going after my dreams (and admittedly, stubborn at times too).

And writing is my both my solitude and adventure.

"You can take the girl out of writing but you can never take writing out of the girl."

I may have read that somewhere or just made it up in my head.😅😂 But yes, I'm the girl.

It's a cliché but writing as a craft is more like a *calling* for me. I've had my bad days, when it went downhill, failures, rejections, writer's block, anxiety, and what have you. But somehow, I made it here which is quite a feat in itself.💥

Honestly, it's a love-hate relationship I have with writing. And how ironic because I don't see myself doing anything sans writing (aside from baking which comes a close second). 😋😁

My journey wasn't always smooth. Boy was it chaotic?!--it was a mess so to speak.

But I guess I kinda owe it to myself to be proud of how I've come so far. Well, we should be especially of "the progress no one else sees or others know little about."

And so I cannot discredit myself for every accomplishment, win, or success (big or small) I've had along the way. After all,

"We are all works in progress."

It's still a long way to go but maybe a few things I've learned and still learning at 31:

1. It's okay not to have it all figured out.

We learn as we go along. So let go of the things that you can't control and move forward. Keep moving.

2. You don't always have to take charge--and that's okay because God is. He always is.

Guess I've always been so obsessed about taking charge of my life (again)--or so I thought and felt. But life happens--detours, mistakes, and, bad decisions and really, that's how you learn, grow, and get better.

3. "You have to revel in the now."

Stop worrying so much about the future and live for today because, tomorrow is not/never promised.

4. Find what you love and stick to it.

You don't have to be an expert or perfect in your craft, but you have to love what you do and yes, "it has to find you working (too)."

5. Do not give up.

"It's difficult until it's done" and yes there's so much you can do outside fear so take a leap of faith. Take that first step (even with the 'nerves' or with your knees shaking).

6. Write on. Dream on.

I’m restless, sometimes I feel hopeless, Rambling things and Thoughts, inks, and notes, Like I’m bound to do One thing or another, My world in complete Motion, yet time standing Still, and days–never ending, But I’m no superhero, I get tired too, cry and get Mad when I feel the need to, I want my life in order, But clearly, I’m a complex Being, bursting with chaos, Daunted but fighting.

Mariaa, Keeping Up

You entirely forgot about me but I have always been there, waiting for you the whole time.

You say 'been there, done that' but the truth is it still hurts, darn, it still does. You can forget someone but you'll never forget what you felt, the pain, anger and the exact madness you once allow yourself to be in.

It was almost dark, The first time we met. You waited for me, I kept my promise. You don’t know the place, Yet, You came to see me, Yes you did. My heart was jumping, With sheer delight but, I hid what I felt, Like a treasure box. You arrived safe, I sighed in relief. Looked down, anxious, I am running late. We’re so close to, Seeing each other now. I texted you 'I’m here,’ You then told me, Where exactly, You were. Our eyes met, For the first time, If felt new yet Oddly familiar. We walked towards, Each other and, Everything else, A perfect blur. You smiled, And my heart sang. There stood my reality, Welcoming me now.

Mariaa, ‘Airport Scene’

Most of what we cry over to sleep at night, And still think of the rest of the day after, Are the things we thought we would've done, If we only had the courage to do so, But believe me you 'beautiful' thing, You deserve nothing but the best, So face your fears, stop living in regrets, And do what makes you happy.

Mariaa, 'Happiness'
