Writing About My Own Experiences

Do you enjoy writing about your own Experiences?

I have written about my experiences and, have decided to write about my move from South Africa to Croatia.

As much as you have read here about my own experiences there is so much more to discover beyond the little details,

I shared it on Hubpages.

I want people to know what happens when they choose to marry a foreigner. You can't help who you fall in love with and that shows in any marriage.

I knew I couldn't escape it!

The writing is from the heart and I know that from my experience in writing for Hubpages.

The most difficult decision I have had to make is to move to a foreign country. You may think it’s a great idea to just pick up your packed bags and leave your home country.

It is not a good idea if you fail to research your host country. To live in a foreign country that you haven't visited, or just heard a lot of, is not such a bright idea.

The many obstacles can break your relationship or bring you together. Of course, you will experience issues in any marriage.

Intercultural marriages require more attention, communication, and understanding to know your partner well. Raising children in different cultures can be an issue in the host country.

Most couples fail to adhere to these issues. The good moments don't stay forever, there is a reality you know, and that is something many couples ignore in their relationships.

Writing came to me at a young age and I never chose to be a writer, and I try to deliver what holds the attention of a reader's eye. I write what I know and how it has affected me.

I took the plunge to write and release my thoughts and ideas and realized how much writing has helped me through all the good times.

I wrote no matter how I felt whether, angry, sad, or upset about something I still managed to continue to write.

I cared for myself to know more and to read more about myself. I do what I enjoy and love best which is to write and clear my mind of any troubled thoughts.

I didn't care about what people would say about my grammar or the way I presented my work. I wrote to be heard and not to be looked down upon as a writer.

Critical views are welcome I need to learn about my work and from anyone with an honest mind. My story is important in the way I told and presented it out there.

I wrote and relived my experience altogether and that encourages readers to read more of what I penned on paper.

Writing has made me more positive and taught me many ideas and new topics.

My focus is on various topics, but many are seldom explored.

I know when I took on the responsibility of writing a book, it would be a lot to take on and to let others know of my move from one country to another.

To create a book and tell everyone of my rare experiences in my life is not for every writer unless you have something valuable to teach your readers it would be a good idea.

Writing About My Own Experiences

Would you write clearly, with discretion and redemptive?

A writer must write in all three at the same time. I encourage readers to live again and to be positive in their dreams.

To make readers believe in themselves and to have new choices in their lifestyles. I chose to walk daily and enjoy keeping fit.

When I first started walking daily others looked at it as if it was a silly idea.

It is strange for people to take daily walks in these areas because keeping active daily is important. I write about my experiences to let my readers feel about my foreign lifestyle.

The mindset of the local people is different to mine. Walking daily is not on their agenda. Lately, I noticed the locals have picked up my healthy advice and have started walking daily.

Just little strolls, but it is interesting to see how they have picked up my habit of walking. I had to put up with many types of behaviours in people and ignored what did not affect or hurt me.

Sometimes everything feels like a never-ending struggle. The pressure gets higher people gossip about their acquaintances and think nothing of their harsh words. Often, I wonder how is it that those people go to sleep at night with such horrid thoughts.

Over the years, I learned about the behaviours of many people and realized nobody can change the mindset of others. If they choose to change their thoughts and ideas, then good for them too.

Whether you love each other or not, and no matter what happens, or how much you love each other change is not for everyone.

However, some people think they can change others this is not a happy experience for the one forced to change their habits.

You can have admirers and feel that person likes you, but once your back is turned, they start gossiping about you.

Would you feel guilty to have gossiped about another individual?

How do they see themselves in the mirror once the person has left their home?

False conversations are under great pretences. Pretenders show their false behaviours to like the other person while they are together at a function and talk about them when they leave the function.

I had that happen to me a few a couple of times, and I attended functions and, on my way, out overheard the woman of the house gossiping about me. She had no idea I was just out the door where I could hear her gossip.

People like these are not friends.

I did not confront her just left thinking about what she thought of me. In a way, it was good to hear it. Gossip can be good or bad about someone and in my case, it was good gossip.

True people don't gossip bad stuff about their friends. No matter what you write or what you have written don't give up on writing. Every day has a new lesson to be learned.

You can make use of that lesson or don't pay attention to that lesson at all. The powerful step to start the moment you have the idea discuss further similar topics.

The downside in promoting my book is living in a non-English speaking country. Online marketing is helpful, though not to my satisfaction.

I shared my feelings in writing and about people's behaviours. I feel good about writing about a foreign lifestyle. It makes me see how I have changed. Living in a different country has shown me many challenges.

The people I met have shown me their personalities in false and in truth. I believe in an honest view from you. We have our skills in everything we do.

What makes us happy won't make everybody happy in the same way.

Be your true self and live happily each day. It is not fair to yourself to be shy about sharing your experiences.
