I am an avid reader. I like to record my thoughts on a book, as well as memorable passages. But one day, I started to think that I would like to write myself. After searching online, I learned that there are sites that will make books for you. I found a site where I could write essays about myself, so I took the plunge and signed up. The goal is to write about a keyword of the day, every day for a month.
There was a wide variety of topics covered, including autumn, regrets, and travel. I tried to put into words how I felt about each topic. Every day, I realized my lack of experience and limited powers of expression. Still, it was a chance for me to reflect on myself. In the end, my 30 essays were compiled into a book. I'm still too embrassed to show it to anyone else. But this book of my own, filled with my inner self, will surely become my most prized possession.
