First step into Medium

This is, I suppose, a little test run of mine for what’s to come. Actually writing on my phone since I’m literally lying down on my bed. Laptop seems too far out of my reach and I’m super lazy.

I suppose, one thing that motivated me to immediately write here on medium at this very moment is to really take that first step and publish my first ever blog or article or whatever out into the world. Especially on my favourite site that changed my life dramatically, Medium.

The plan

So for the most part, I aim to write about my daily life and experiences I have and what I learn from them. This comes in line with me writing in relation to my past obsession and addiction to productivity and self help.

I may not be the best writer now, heck, I may be the worst writer of all that have landed here. But who cares? It’s better to be the worst writer than to not be a writer.

Wow. Did I just write that? I did not plan to write the most Inspiring thing I’ve ever read or written. Holy Cow. Lemme make it as a quote, cause that’s cool.

It’s better to be the worst writer rather than not being writer.

Haha, that’s amazing. And I think this little monologue is enough to show you my personality in how I view my life and things around me.

Seriously, back to the plan

As for now I’m not planning for “success" in medium. I aim to set my foot and settle into the environment. Get into the community. To be amongst those I respect and love on this platform. Rather than looking up to them from a far distance, it’s time for me to look up to them on the same grounds.

Oh wait. I just saw the photo icon on the right side of the editor bar, lemme see what I can do. Oh it’s just add image, that’s sad. Oh well this photo of me thinking is a good start since that’s the latest photo on my gallery

Okay, anyway. Before this gets rambly, let’s talk about who I am as a person generally.

Who am I.

I am Danial Mirza Bin Ahmad Zawawi. An aspiring music producer, writer and storyteller. Bad with words (for now) and have spent 14 years learning to play the piano. Currently dabbling on FL Studio to learn more about sound engineering and composition. I’ll uselessly plug my YouTube here 👉🏽 cause why not?

Wait, did I mention that I’m a first year medical student?

*Checks*

Welp now you know.

Medicine was an on and off interest for years and a last minute decision with reluctance thanks to my mom’s strong pushes.

Though, I honestly don’t regret giving in. This path I took definitely changed the way I think and pushed me more through what I thought was my limit.

Though, with all honesty, I have no slight interest or thought to actually be a Dr. yet. Never thought that far into the future despite being in medschool. But I need to pay off my debt somehow (oof) so I’ll figure it out throughout the next 5 to 7 years of my education. And I’m bringing anyone who reads my content along with me 😀.

My goals

My weekly goal, or so I’d call it is to constantly make music.

My daily goal, is to write about the path I take and the growth I experience and the logic behind it

My educational goal (medschool goal) to survive and make use of the knowledge.

My life goal….. to be me. To enjoy the journey. To make the boring things fun. To love the things I hate. To grow as a person and help people around me in any ways I am able to.

What is Medium to me

It is a journal

I recently decided to use Twitter as a journal as well but I guess I should use them hand in hand. For quick thought release, Twitter, for long elaboration and deep thought, Medium.

I used to use note taking apps to write these thoughts that linger in my heart but now I want to speak it out. I want to let out my opinions, my likes and dislikes and grow a stand in society.

Along the way, I’ll try to learn about a thing or two each time I write to improve my writing, composition, arrangements, ideas. So if anyone read this, comments, suggestions and feedback is gladly accepted. I’ve experienced tons of criticism from my music, so I can boldly say that I am prepared to receive those in my writing.

So I guess this is the end of the beginning, pain will ensue but despite that, if anyone ever reads this, I really thank you. Peace out for now
