I am Belle and This is Me - an introvert person who would love to share my thoughts through writings

A warm greetings to everyone!

Can’t believe I’m finally here. Thanks to Steemit Team for giving this chance of becoming a Steemian.

I’m not sure if you are interested of knowing about me but since it’s my very first post , let me open my book for you to read the first page of myself and my thoughts.

“Belle” is just a half of my first name – Loribelle which means “laurel”, a symbol of victory. My first day in this world was 24 years ago. I grew up in one of the 7,641 islands of the Philippines, yes you’ve read it correctly it’s the current number of islands here. I had spent my 5 years living in another island to finish my tertiary education. After all the struggles I went through, I graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in Accountancy and got my license in the year 2015.

I got my first job as an accountant but after more than a year I decided to explore other field. I’m currently employed as an internal auditor at AMA – the first ICT University in the Philippines.

People who don’t know me for who really I am would think I am a snob, arrogant and anti-social but the truth is I am just a quiet, shy type person who preferred to spend time alone or at least with a small group of friends because to be honest I am not really comfortable being around with a lot of people. In other words, I am an introvert with a low self-esteem who is unable to make friends easily, and it’s really a struggle for me.

Thinking how would I succeed in my career with this kind of personality? I don’t even know. But I know I can be better. I’m actually trying to overcome it, but we know it won’t just happen overnight. I can’t make it alone. Somehow I need the help of other people, I need your help. I need to be understood and accepted for who I am. Maybe in this way I could build up my self-confidence and learn to communicate myself well, at least through writings.

Although I am not really a writer, I may not even good in writing, but I am here because I believe it could be a helpful outlet. It’s my way of expressing everything I want to say, words that I cannot say in front of other people, and thoughts that I have been keeping in my mind.

But then again the question is “How would I succeed? How would I become a successful Steemian?”

The answer depends on how we define success and for me success means happiness in doing what we love to do. And I love being here. I would definitely love to share my writings here.
