I was an essayist and didn’t know it
Sitting back and reviewing my own life, I’ve realized I’ve wasted a lot of time not only living with my mother and worrying about her reactions I’ve actually discovered that in the past I had a lot of talent for writing essays that I didn’t know about.
How I came to this conclusion is simple; I remember reading and researching a lot of subjects and writing up long reports of what I’ve found and how I feel about it to forums (outside of the writing category) and doing a good job of it. Readers found my posts informative and this lead me to become one of the most popular members on two particular sites; one being a spiritual and occultist site and the other being a gardening and survival site.
I didn’t get paid for these opinions, didn’t think it was anything great; but after researching what an essayist actually is I realized this is what I was when I was living with my mum, bored to tears writing up anything from cosmological theory, theological history, social sciences, bio-science and what was on TV last night, thinking that I was simply wasting my time – I was, but I could have wasted it in a more productive way, by being a paid essayist.
I’ve actually found out my love for writing up information and opinions on my favorite subjects can and have been profitable for many writers in the past; how I sell these essays, I haven’t a clue but I love doing this, I love sharing my knowledge with other people amongst writing fiction as well.
With this being said, I will start to write up essays here on my blog to show you what I used to be like and to also ask the question “am I an essayist or is there something I’m missing in those posts”?
Thank you for reading and your comments are necessary for my fine tuning.

Dancing in stories
If I want to write a scene that contain two characters dancing a tango, do I describe the steps of the tango or just say they tangoed and leave it to the readers imagination?

Love and Friendship
The fantasy of life is to find true love
Yet the reality of life is lust
Searching for love when all you need is a friend
That will help, that will help you to mend
Love grows like friendships
But people understand this not
They always chase after whoever is hot
They always get burned but to the search they’ll return
And really all I see is that people don’t learn
Don’t look for love, let it find you
Through friendships you’ll know
Who will be true
To you

I am committed to my self
There are dreams I have forgotten and places I’m meant to go
But didn’t go there, I go with the flow
The flow takes me anywhere, anywhere it knows
It takes me into happiness or terror I suppose
People say it’s not a structure
You need that in your life
But I can’t bare normality
It’s rigid and boredom runs rife
I need the flow of nature to guide me in my way
I will not fall into categories, me I shall stay
I won’t lose my sense of self
And become a uniformed girl
I will travel to know myself and this vast wide world
I will not allow myself to become blemished by the ones
Who say I am not normal and normality I should succumb to
I will not fall into patterns and I will not submit
I will only flow with life and to myself I will commit
With nature as my guide and friend, I’ll know of love and play
I will be guided by her majesty in each and every way
I will become who I was meant to be and not follow the rules of man
And if I had a choice, I’ll chose to do it all again, amen.
