Breaking the fourth wall.

ernest-myownway (25)in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

So... this is me.

I started reading books at the age of 10.

By the time I finished reading my first book, I knew I wanted to be a writer.

By the time I finished reading my 20th book, I knew what kind of writer I wanted to be:

One able to reach those standing in the darkness and make them realize that they are full of light. One with the capacity of getting to the heart of those who are feeling less of themselves and make them know how brilliant they are and how many potential they've got!

One able to reach people like me.

My name is Ernesto Rodriguez. And right now I am 24 years old. I never got to write anything. Why? I was scared. Scared of failure. Scared of criticism. But I think now is the time to do it. I really need to. I Need to connect with humans! For too long I've been hiding, fearing even to try it (I'M FREAKING OUT WHILE WRITING THIS! I'M SUPER NERVOUS CAUSE STRANGE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO READ WHAT I'M WRITING OMG).

Breaking the wall.

What do I expect from the Steemit Comunity?

First of all I want to connect with you.

Yeah. With you! -points you with his index finger- And you know what? I want to break this fricking wall! it bothers me so much it's driving me crazy! wait a sec... -pulls a hammer out of nowhere, using the magic power of narration. Then wildly approaches to the wall and...-

It's done! Now there's nothing between you and me! How cool is that?
-looking directly at the camera- Hey mom! I'm on steemit! YEEEI!

No, but seriously.

Connecting with people, making new friends, is a big deal for me. I am looking forward to make friends with you!

I'm hoping to use steemit as a platform where I can take (at least) baby steps towards my dream as a writer. Writing to let you know what is going on in my mind and in my life (putting my messy thoughts into words) could be a good starting point. Maybe every now and then I could throw in here some short stories from my own invention... who knows.

GAME TIME!!!

I thought of a little game that will help us to know each other. Wanna play? It goes like this: I'm going to leave here a total of 10 quotes from some of my favorite movies BUT I'm not going to say the source of any of them. So: If you recognize one, leave a comment telling me what you think/how do you feel about the movie the quote came from. This way we could easily start a really interesting conversation.

BONUS RULE: If you know all the quotes then we're soulmates and we'll have to marry. Yup.

Here we go:

1.- "You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person."

2.- "Don't forget I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

3.- "Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn."

4.-" I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive."

5.- "And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super... no one will be."

6.-"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space."

7.-"Take her to the moon for me. Okay?"

8.-"welcome to the desert of the real."

9.- "Three bullets in the chest. When I woke alive, I knew she still loved me. Or else it would have been head."

10.-"Lesson number one: All the time traveling in the world can't make someone love you."

These are the ones! I Can't wait to read your comments! See you around, steemians!
