Chapter 1: My Writing Journey

From a young age, I began my writing adventure at around 12 years old. Keeping a diary has become one of my favorite pastimes, providing me with an outlet for reflection and creativity. It has transformed into a trusted confidant—a space where I can store my memories, emotions, and thoughts. Writing serves as a therapeutic release, allowing me to express my innermost feelings and experiences.

As I revisit my entries, I am often struck by the innocence and authenticity captured in those moments. The nostalgia is both profound and joyful, reminding me of the beauty of my early thoughts and feelings.

My name is Aliya, as stated in my profile. I hold a Master's degree in Chemistry with a specialization in Organic Chemistry. Throughout my career, I have engaged in various research projects and formulated numerous hypotheses.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have worked as a teacher, tutor, and freelance transcriptionist. Currently, I identify as a "Medium Writer." Beyond my professional life, I am a human being, a woman, a wife, and a mother to my five-month-old son. My role extends to being a cook, cleaner, and manager of my household.

Section 1.2: My Experience with Medium

Though I may not consider myself a seasoned writer, I strive to put forth my best efforts. The "Medium" platform has become more than just a place to share my thoughts; it is a vibrant arena where I can delve into my studies, experiences, and reflections. It serves as a treasure trove of knowledge, offering diverse philosophies and insights into the human experience.

Through Medium, I've connected with a global community, fostering empathy, encouragement, and appreciation among fellow writers and readers. I am incredibly grateful for the support I receive here.

Chapter 2: Gratitude and Reflection

I feel a sense of happiness and fulfillment when engaging with my fellow writers and readers. My journey has taught me that there is always more to learn, and I remain thankful for the connections I've made along the way.

The first video, "Casting Crowns - Who Am I (Official Lyric Video)," reflects themes of identity and self-discovery that resonate deeply with my own experiences.

The second video, "I Am Me," further emphasizes the importance of embracing one's true self, a message I hold dear.

Thank you for taking the time to read my reflections. If you find value in my writings, I would appreciate your support—consider buying me a coffee. Your encouragement means everything to me. Happy reading!
