Why Writing Suddenly Becomes an Addiction - Fuel it With Passion and Everything Will Follow

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou

Those thoughts, those memories + a bit of writing skill will be your great investment. Let it consume you, let it become your passion. Take your time, there's no rush. Just let your creative juices flow. Be patient as eventually, you will reap the rewards of investing your time in creating quality content based on your real life experiences.

Like I said from my previous post, less is more right?

Search for those photos and put some music on. Remember those experiences that will inspire you and those around you.

Remember it. Feel it. Then write it. It will become an addiction in a good way as those memories are always worth remembering, even the bad ones that we were able to conquer. Did you feel it? How good it is to look back right.

Those years, I was focusing more on living the present moment, being with great people and having great adventures of a lifetime. I have also spent more alone time than I could ever imagine, with my mind that couldn’t be still. Those thoughts, I thought. Someday, I have to deposit it somewhere. Where the world could probably benefit from my learning experiences.

Go out and get a life first, then write it later. Although a lot of travelers are able to do traveling and writing at the same time, as they prefer to write fresh from their experience. If this is the case, then find some proper time to sit back and relax. Then write. As for me, I just couldn’t do both. I wouldn't be able to concentrate and write beautifully because I was out there, you know - scuba diving, hiking, hitchhiking, volunteering, watching the sunset, getting invited to local parties, having a laugh with a stranger or having a long conversation with my host at night. In short, living.

When the time has come, you will be writing your thoughts naturally. It’s like the words are just free-flowing, you will feel so inspired. It does not matter if it will take 2-3 hours of your time. As you search for those appropriate photos you have for your post, the memories are suddenly coming back. You begin to smile and look back.

Don’t let writing become a job, or be just motivated by money. Although of course, it’s one those tangible things that travel experience can reward us. Look at your photos and remember in detail, write those untold stories inside you. Inspire those around you and everything will follow.

Create and move the hearts of people.

Did you come back after traveling for a while and you felt that no one couldn't relate to you anymore? No one listens to your amazing travel stories? Write it. We are here to read it.

Can’t travel the world at the moment? No idea what to write about? Then just go out and live your life. Be crazy and have fun, create more memories.

Then tell us your story.
