I couldn’t really remember when I realized I love to write. But I remember how my little self enjoyed writing on my composition notebooks back when I was in grade school. It was right before I started college, when I opened my first blog. It was simply an online diary for me back then. I would share how my day went, my feelings, essays on different topics and poems. It was also in college when it intensified. Aside from writing on my blog, it was my role as my school paper’s editor-in-chief that validated my passion.
As years went by, I started to realized how writing has been a huge impact on my life. I write because I want to share where I went to, how motherhood feels like, or how to mom a boy. I write because maybe, just maybe, someone out there is searching for something and could stumble on my blog. Who would have though that 17 years since I’ve opened my little space in the www, I would finally be able to make it legit, by having its own domain, and having a couple of loyal readers, plus earning from it as well, which is only a bonus. I write because I want to inspire and influence even just one person in this lifetime and this passion of mine has found its purpose.

I am thankful that I am able pursue this passion of mine, how ever tough life has been. But not everyone are privileged enough to do so. Dreaming for one’s future takes the back seat for some kids and their families. But does it have to be that way? Can we just dream and #CreateHope for the future that is yet to come, no matter what situation we are in? Let’s help give hope that has been missing in the life of children with critical illnesses, as well as their families, with Make A Wish Philippines.
