Writing is one of the things that I love doing, and in many cases it really helps me get through some things and make me understand things I did not really understod before.
But how comes that closest writing thing for me was writing poems, fictional things because I have always though that journalism or something like that is a very far thing from real writing skills, but as time goes by, I come to realise that, it acctually is not very far from fictional writing - after all, the piece you are writing comes out the way You make it to be, not how some made up borders make it to be.
But then again - is selling my written pieces (more of just article, not something fictional) is a betrayel of my own skills and thing I have always loved about writing - that it is just for me?

I don't think it is betrayal of your skills and how you have always felt about non-fictional writing. Remember whether it is fiction or non-ficture, the whole point of your writing is to tell a story, and get your point across to your readers. Just because it's true does not mean non-fictional writing is easy. I know some people who cannot tell about an atual event very well. All well written work takes talent and is an art form.
They are different types of writing but I don't think there is anything negative about expanding your writing skills or changing the form of writing you do.
