My new corner
Hi to whoever is reading this! I am Anthony (22M). Nowadays I go to university in the Czech Republic. Okay, I guess that's enough personal information for now. I know I could've skipped that part but I don't want to be completely anonymous here. I am sure you will learn a lot about me through my writing though. I am genuinely excited to finally be a part of the Bear community.
I have been writing, mostly for myself and the closest friends, for a couple years at this point. Since I am not a native English speaker, I sometimes have a hard time finding the right words to express myself. I would say my knowledge of grammar is decent; I studied it very closely back in the day. However, there are times when my formulation just does not sound natural, and I cannot put my finger on it myself. But I hope with time and feedback from the outside, I will be able to become a better writer. Writing is one of those hobbies of mine I would really like to keep for a while (we're talking a lifetime here).
If I were to describe my style of writing, I would say it's flawed yet it kinda has a soul. When I write, I try to be more vulnerable and open-minded than I am in real life. Topics I tend to cover revolve around my experiences, emotions, and random inspirations here and there. This year though, I have realized how much my current writing has been affecting me rather in an unpleasant way. It is true that written word has been my catharsis ever since I discovered it a few years ago. However, I want my writing to inspire and uplift me more instead of bringing down and making me anxious. It might be too attractive for me to reflect on a negative emotion/event but it doesn't have to take place every damn time.
I view this "public" blog as an opportunity to become a more versatile writer as well as a proper reader. Weird fact about me: I don't like reading. Once in a while, I end up picking up a book because I am interested in certain information. But I am very far from being an avid reader. Nevertheless, I also hope to find other blogs to follow on Bear. I want to get to know other people who like doing the same thing.
There's no need to keep this introduction too long. Anyways, I am looking forward to this ride :)
