It's still 5 in the morning and I have nothing to do. I wonder what shall I do at this time so I sat infront of my study table and looked at the mess. I saw my newly bought issue of my favorite mag. I decided to rescan the pages and reread the articles. I chance upon the editor-in-chief's monthly letter to Candy readers in her section, "Ed's Scrapbook". She admitted she had been a true perfectionist with her writing before. She said she can't even write that first sentence because she's afraid of making a mistake. Then I realized, that goes with me too. Everytime I am asked to write about something, it would really take me a long time, staring at a blank page thinking, "What would be my first sentence?" or "How should I start this?" or even, "Should I write or not?" Maybe that's why I am not winning any writing contest. Maybe that's why I am not able to write long interesting stuff. It's because I'm afraid of making a single mistake.
I never knew I was a perfectionist in my writing not until Ate Mia shared her story. Maybe it's not only in my writing that I'm a perfectionist Maybe, I am in everything I do but I just don't notice it.
Well, whatever it will be, my special thanks to Ate Mia for making me realize that. I hope Icould cope with it soon.
Thanks Candy Team! You really are our best-est friend on this whole wide world!!!
Keep Rockin' Ate's and Kuya!!\m/,
