I’ve started to write my first book at 16 … but then … realizing i could not publish it … i’ve abandoned the idea of being a … writer. 20 years later … i’ve started to write again … believing i will finally succeed … but i’ve failed one more time … not getting the success i was chasing for. Another 5 years later … i’ve started one more time to write … but this time … more as a therapy. It’s what i’ve defined as … self therapy. I was analyzing and defining lots of weird ideas … that were a lot related to me … and my own soul. I totally forgot that i was chasing for success. I was simple writing my thoughts … in essays … becoming this way … maybe not a writer …. but what many define as … an essayist. This is not a poet … and not a writer. Or maybe is kind of a poet that is incapable of writing poetry … but is still expressing his thoughts … into a similar way … as a poet. And is not a writer … cause have not the ability to write for too long time … about the same subject. But maybe i am not an essayist… either. I am just an ordinary person … that could be better defined … as a thinker. Analyzing … and defining my life … practicing this process called … self therapy … i started to understand life … and the way to better paths which i should follow. And i’ve wrote … and wrote … and wrote … realizing one day that i’ve published tens of books …. not really understanding how the hell I’ve succeeded doing that. Today i dare to recommend writing … as a therapy. I could even say … it’s a simple way of understanding who we are … but also a process that could help us … heal our souls. I personally continue to … write. It’s in fact … a non ending story that … at least for myself … will probably continue for the rest of my life. But over all … i am glad … i am doing it. I continue my philosophical journey … not being able to define myself for clear as a writer or an essayist… but … Well …. most probably… i am on a good path. And … i would dare to recommend to everyone … all what i am doing today.
