I have three resolutions, or what you may call agendas, for the year 2018.

• To start my own blog.
• To adopt a healthy lifestyle.
• To give back.
  Hi. My name is… not as hard as people make it sound. I have been called with a hundred different names but thanks to my family, it has been cut short to Beena, which I’ve further shortened in writing to bna.
  I am bna, (pronounced bee-na). Here are all the necessary things you should know about me.

Bna is all about Adventure, Art, Nature and capturing anything that she finds interesting. Being an introvert and at times very shy and private person, she uses the medium of writing to express her feelings and understanding towards life. At first glance, you might feel like she is not interested in starting a conversation at all, but really, she is mostly just intimidated or too shy to break the ice. At times, she surprises people with her humorous and meaningful comments on whatever is being talked about. The people close to her know the side that she wishes everyone could see but isn’t able to express. She is like any other girl, comfortably uncomfortable in her own skin. Some mornings she wakes up with the energy that no one can take away from her and sometimes, she wakes up with low vibes, that also, nobody can take away from her.
Some people say she's more of an ambivert. However, the biggest challenge for her is to start sharing her feelings through writing with the world. She wouldn’t have done this without her brother’s support who kept telling her that she had some powerful writing skills. Thanks to him, she found confidence in herself. Her mother always pushed all her children to polish their skills and use the time wisely. She encouraged them all to get their hands in different jobs and explore their abilities. It also wouldn’t have been possible without her sister’s support, who also happens to bna’s best friend, who would talk about life, ideas, experiences, art and everything that came along the conversation when they would go out for their evening walk at the park or sit together at night when everyone would go to sleep. Now she has moved out of the country and is missed every day. It was also her sister who got her the first personal system that made bna explore the world of the internet and discover the world of blogging. It inspired her. Instantly.
Bna has been writing diaries and since she was little. Everybody goes through a rough patch in life. Likewise, bna went through one too. She went quiet during that time, and it was then that she started making secret diaries where she would write down her feelings. Some got found out and thrown away, some are still with her, which she cringes at now. She also worries about them being read after she's dead. By the way, any idea how to keep it safe?
At this point in life, she's happy, she's grateful and she's very anxious to give back, give back to the world and share her blessings. She is secretly proud(well not anymore) of the fact that she stands confidently in her beliefs now. She has struggled with confidence for at least 25 years of her life. She is still struggling and learning, but she's proud of how far she has come.
Bna is looking forward to getting inspired, reading thoughts and sharing ideas with the Steemit Community. She hopes to make some good friends along the way.
If you didn’t like her use of second person speech, know that it was easier for her to introduce herself from this point of view. That's how she sees herself and would like to know, how she’s being seen by others…?
