At the age of 39, I became a mother of two and immersed myself in the hustle and bustle of taking care of my family every day. At that time, I felt as if I was trapped in the whirlpool of daily trivialities and lost myself. However, it was in this predicament that I found a path to self-realization – reading.
At first, I started reading in search of a moment of peace. Late at night after the kids have fallen asleep, I would sit under the lamp, open a book, and let the words transport me to another world. Books have become a bridge between me and the outside world, and they are also a consolation for my inner world. Over time, I have discovered that reading is not just a pastime, but a way to learn and grow.
I began to try to record my thoughts and experiences from reading and share them with more people. I started my own blog and posted a few articles on social media. Unexpectedly, these contents were loved and followed by a lot of people. I received encouragement and support from far and wide, which made me realize that my words can touch the hearts of others.
So, I decided to take writing more seriously. I started planning my writing time and dedicating a dedicated time each day to reading and writing. I read books of all genres, from literary classics to psychological works, from history books to guides for self-improvement. Each book opened up new horizons for me and gave me a deeper understanding of the world.
In the process of reading and writing, I gradually developed my own style and opinions. I began to pay attention to social issues and think about how to express my views on these issues through my own words. My articles began to touch on topics such as family education, women's rights, and mental health, which aroused widespread discussion and resonance.
Over time, my blog traffic has been climbing and my followers have been increasing. I started getting interviews from some media outlets, and I was even contacted by publishers who wanted to publish my work. These opportunities made me realize that I have grown from an ordinary stay-at-home mom to an influential self-media writer.
Now, I still maintain the habit of reading one book a day. Reading is not only a way for me to acquire knowledge, but also a source of inspiration for me. My writing is not only an expression, but also a responsibility. I hope that through my writing, more people can be inspired to think, explore, and grow.
Looking back on this journey, I am filled with emotion. The transformation from a stay-at-home mother to a self-media writer is not only a change in identity, but also a spiritual growth and transformation. Reading gave me the strength to find my voice. I believe that as long as we continue to learn and explore, everyone can find their own light and illuminate the way forward.
