The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence
The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence The echoes of the noise that surrounds us often succeed in their endeavor to surmount and overbear the inner compass and our intuition guides us toward it. The tendency of society to guide us towards the conventional way of life is its habitual way of functioning. While the ones who follow the laid guidelines are appraised and extolled and the ones who muster the courage to be unconventional are unfathomable and incapable as they do not work according to the prescribed guidelines of the societal norms. The comfort of comparison is way more elusive than the openness to change and empathy towards the different ways of thinking. The hesitation to accept a new way of living is viewed seldom as the hammered wheelings of time lay their footsteps.

6 things I learned as an award winning poet, content writer and blogger
6 things I learned as an award-winning poet, content writer and blogger Learning is the only constant, the ultimate way of you becoming the best of yourself you can ever be. When you learn something that you are passionate about, that is when the true magic starts. Passion and consistency pave the way for excellence in any field you decide to pursue. I began working as a content writer when I was 18. The journey has been an inspiring and exhilarating one, where I worked with great companies and mentors who helped me understand the art of writing and the game of creating content that not only sells but brews a story in its authentic light. Writing in its entirety always appealed to me, poetry and blogging were my mediums of expressing my creative light, where I was not bound by word limits or writing formats but simply words flowing in a rhythmic flair. From starting my blog on Instagram during the lockdown to being awarded for my poetry, there are many lessons that I have learned in my journey. Here are certain lessons I learned during my journey.

What It Means To Write What You Know
Write What You Know You will never see a writing advice space without these famously confusing words. But what does it mean? Is it that I can only write about things I know about? Can I not make my main character a vampire princess who has to defy their parents to save the kingdom? Because I certainly don't know what it means to be a vampire princess or save a kingdom.

The Evolution of Self Belief: From Doubt to Certainty
There are times when we doubt how far can we go. When we fall into the comfort of comparison and diminish our self-worth because of not being enough for the world. But what exactly is enough? Is being enough for the world a testament to how worthy we are, of our journey or is it a mere perception of the people who want us to conform to their level of understanding?

My Mistakes
Introduction Although this should maybe be a Journal, 01, or FYI piece but it is about two places where we often make mistakes, and people often then add another comment to point out their errors and correct them, but there is no need to point out that you have made an error. So I don't have much to write about so I am going to post this in Writers (although I suppose I could have put it in Critique, Fiction or Poets as they allow stories with less than six hundred words.

Behind the Page: #1
For the first edition of my Behind the Page series, I will discuss my poem, "Saturday Afternoon". You can read it here: I wrote the poem "Saturday Afternoon" back in 2009. It was first published in the now-defunct online journal First Reads, based in the country of St. Vincent. It and another of my poems, "Morning Glow", appeared there together. Later in 2010, both poems were included in my mixed genre chapbook, "Beyond the Horizon: Journeys in Poetry and Prose".

6 Things About Writing I Wish I Could Go Back In Time And Tell Myself
We all wish for a time machine for one reason or another. Sometimes it's to go back and play the numbers for a big lottery jackpot. To see a loved one more time, or to go and tell our past selves not to go on that date because we're going to get our hearts broken.
