Hello everyone,

I am writing this to introduce my self. Who am I? My name is Nice Kin Marie, but just call me Maria. I was born on 2007, I was brought to life by a very strong woman, my mom.

Growing up, I always wonder what kind of talents I possessed, I was very scared, because the other kids are already good at something, others are good in singing and dancing... while me? I was just good at irritating my mom. I felt like I am lost, I don't have anything that I am good at. I was afraid that I will end up as a big disappointment. I didn't have a skill that I think would make my family's proud.

But, when I was 11... I discovered something about myself, I am good at expressing my thoughts through writing. My former teachers used to praise me for that.

MY WRITING ERA:

During my writing era, I felt like I was alive. Finally, I am good at something, it felt like I was found. I was very happy, I could not explain the joy I was feeling.

I was very passionate with writing random pieces of literature, I even participated with a writing contest, and I got the 4th place, not bad for a first timer. I was very in love with writing, it was my life, it became my everything.

Writing wasn't just writing, it was a part of me... it became my friend when I was in sorrow, the messy thoughts inside my head turned to a piece of art. It was my comfort, my shield, my calm... and when I lost the spark between me and writing I was so heart broken. I did not how it happened, it was so sudden, I lost my interest in doing the things that I love.

I was always trying to find a way to get back on track, I kept on questioning myself where that passion have gone, maybe it got tired of me the way I got tired of myself.

And then, I heard from my sister that I can still write here. So, I had a meeting with myself, and thought that maybe I can get that fire back if I grab this opportunity to be here... so I am here... starting once again. I am onboarded by @arenaofroses , and I am excited to start my journey here in Hive.
