From Shy Scribbles to Bold Words: My Journey with Poetry and Writing

Hello, lovely readers! 📝

It’s Mimi, back with another story from my life’s little adventures, and today, I want to talk about something very close to my heart—poetry and writing. Now, if you had told me a few years ago that I’d be sharing my poetry with the world, I probably would have blushed and hidden under a pile of notebooks! But here we are, and I’m ready to take you along on my journey from shy scribbles to bold words.

Let’s rewind a bit. I’ve always loved words—the way they dance on a page, the way they can make you feel something deep inside, even if it’s just for a moment. But for the longest time, I kept my writing to myself. My notebooks were filled with little poems, short stories, and random musings, all hidden away like secret treasures. Writing was my escape, my way of processing the world around me, especially when things felt overwhelming.

I was always shy about sharing my work, though. What if people didn’t like it? What if they didn’t understand? These questions kept me from letting anyone see my writing for years. But as I grew older, I started to realize something important—writing is meant to be shared. It’s a way of connecting with others, of saying, “Hey, this is how I see the world, and maybe you see it this way too.” And that’s a beautiful thing.

So, slowly but surely, I started to show my work to a few close friends and family members. Their encouragement gave me the courage to push past my insecurities and start writing with a little more confidence. I began experimenting with different styles and themes, letting my words flow freely, without worrying too much about what others might think.

And guess what? The more I wrote, the more I fell in love with it. Poetry became my way of capturing fleeting moments, turning everyday experiences into something magical. Whether it was a quiet morning, a passing thought, or a burst of emotion, I found that there was always something worth writing about.

Now, I’m still a bit shy about sharing my poetry with the world (old habits die hard!), but I’m getting braver. I’ve realized that my words have power, not just for me, but for anyone who might read them and feel a connection. That’s why I’m so excited to start sharing some of my poems here on the blog. Who knows, maybe they’ll resonate with you, or maybe they’ll inspire you to pick up a pen and start writing your own story.

Writing has been such a therapeutic outlet for me, much like my music. It’s a space where I can be myself, where I can explore my thoughts and feelings without judgment. It’s taught me to embrace my voice, to be proud of the words I create, and to share them with the world—even if it’s just one poem at a time.

So, here’s to all the shy scribblers out there. If you’ve got words in your heart, let them out. You never know who might need to hear them.

Thanks for joining me on this journey, and I can’t wait to share more of my poetry with you soon! 🌟

Love,
Mimi
