I'm Sorry




For those who come to read this blog, I, Muhammad Farid Taqiuddin Zulkifly as the writer of this blog, apologize from the depth of my heart.

It's not that I left this blog purely because I was busy. I left this blog because my inspiration and motivation to write purely out of enjoyment had been lost. My passion had faded away and this blog is left in the dust. For that, I am sorry.

A few days ago, my fellow writer friend Samantha Wong had proposed an idea in that we create a blogazine for a contest. Thinking that it might help me rediscover my motivation, I voluntarily joined in and thus the busyness began. While we were busy recruiting people, organizing the blog and making some last minute touches for our first post debut, I took the time to view back this place, since many had enquired it since they found out I blogged - once.

30 minutes ago, I took my time to re-read my old pathetic posts, emotional outbursts and confusion of a teenager trying to find a light to crawl out of the darkness and it had struck me, hard. In a post I'd made years ago, a stupid unfinished fiction by my own mind, I reread the comments from my supporting senior, teacher and anonymous supporters, trying to help this naive writer-wannabe. The last comment was new, an unknown human commented on it on the end of last year.

"this was a pathetic, hapless attempt in getting worshipped by other than your schoolmates. i did not find any of your essays that convincing at all. in fact, they're just childish in a way that almost made me vomit looking at their awkward predicament of discontinuity and not having a well written plot. try to submit your essays to the English teachers. i bet they would have the same remarks as i have which is dull and vain."

 I have to admit, it hurts reading that comment, not because it contain so much hate, but the guy spoke the truth and I couldn't deny it.

"I won't deny that my essay is dull and vain, but I wrote it purely because of the joy of writing it, not because I desire attention." Said I to myself at 2.30am in the morning. And then I realised how stupid I was, and how all my writings before this were all because of myself, not because I want to entertain anyone or to raise followers. I was selfish, and I had no anchor or any attachments to continue writing continuously in this blog.

For that, I apologize. I desire not haters nor supporters, but purely for the enjoyment of myself. And now, I desire entertaining readers, whether they are blog-walkers, friends or acquaintances who had their interest in this blog, even for just a second. That is enough for me to continue my work and I will try my hardest, from the deepest of my heart to do just that.

So now, Show Time.

XXXXX

- One of the comments above the hater comment, from the user Maxlone, is my English teacher.
- Here's the link to the upcoming uber-exciting (I hope) blogazine from teens, to teens. http://inteenblogazine.blogspot.com/
- Some of my posts is filled with comment promos. LOL
- It's almost 4am, and I'm hungry.
- For that fiction, I decided to renew it and see if it's acceptable enough to be continued and being made as a series. Look forward to it in the blogazine.
- And I'm sorry = )
