I’m Himani Jawa🌸, the girl behind An Amateur Writer who is as amateur about life as writing. Looking at the world through society’s lens has always been an old-fashioned perspective for me. Thus, exploring it my own way could be a better goal, at least for this life of mine. It will be even more interesting if this journey could bring me an in depth exploration of the type of personality I am. I have never labeled myself as a passionate girly for anything I ever did, but deep down I admire the inquisitive behavior my Krishna blessed me with. Defining myself a mix of all my closed ones would not be wrong. Stealing my favorite traits from the people I admire is a kind of hobby now. Sadly, I never defined my goals and wishes in the form of checklists but surely there are many of them without which things and life will feel a bit incomplete. Hoping to give my best at this project of life…….
Why I Choose Writing...
I have always thought, I am an over-expressive person. Yes, I am. But I was wrong when I thought this is my only identity.
I am an over-expressive person, when it comes to expressing my anger, sadness or frustration. I always overdo everything of them. I always express them a little bit more.
But, I am definitely not an over-expressive person, when it comes to express my genuine feelings, love or care. I always keep a part of it in my heart and express a little less every single time.
Words and poetry has always been that medium of expression for me. That’s why I love them.
But the irony is, the language (poetry) people find hard to understand, is the only language I am good at.
Thus, unable to express again and forever!!!
Anecdotes and Fun Facts...
- Recently, I came to know about a fun fact from my sibling. It was a few years back when we were teenagers, and maybe a bit interested in diary writing or something. She reminded of the times, we used to write poems on each other. I really don’t know whether or not that was the beginning of my interest in writing but may be that was something that makes me fascinate writing (as I always do for everything, don’t know why?).
- While I was a child, I used to make greetings and cards, which I even do sometimes now. I have come across some of them in recent days. Also the cheesy lines or poems that I used to try back then unknowingly, sooner or later I would be able to improve them up.
- The funniest and strangest thing out of all of them is, I never thought growing up writing would ever become a medium of expression by any chance. But the moment I realize it already did, makes me feel happy about it.
- Once you are into writing, unknowingly you start looking for words which can make you form rhymes. You start valuing the words of others and sadly in my case I always overdo it.
