Fortunately writing doesn’t require an audience

There is a little bit of narcissism required to be a writer, to believe that people actually give a shit about what you think. And after the publishing of my book, with the podcasts and the interviews and the speeches I’ve given, I’ve come to realize that people read my words and still don’t understand me. Perhaps because they project their own experiences into the writing, perhaps because so much time has passed that I am no longer the person who wrote that book/those words, or perhaps because I am such a shit writer that I can’t express myself well enough to be understood. It feels like a mixture of all three of those possibilities. By the time you read these words, I’ll already not be the person who wrote them. I’ll have hopefully grown, and I’ll have moved on. And there is acceptance in knowing that the words I write are ephemeral to me. Too bad the people who read my words are seemingly locked into the space and time in which they are written.

To write is the intimate gesture of taking the reader by the hand, luring or leading them through all the corners of yourself that they may experience worlds and wonders through your eyes

I remember being about 3 years old. I’d wake up each morning just as the sun began to break over the horizon. I’d get up on my knees to peer through the window above my bed waiting for that first light.

I do recommend hand writing this part because there is nothing like scratching up a page with a pen or pencil when you’re angry or upset or frustrated

It is important to recognize that clearing your mind is difficult. Owning up to that truth might feel pointless but the sooner it is acknowledged, the sooner you can work through it or around it. I have two strategies for this. If my head is too full of thoughts, anxieties, or feelings to jump straight into whatever I want to work on, I try to journal for a bit about what is bugging me, which helps me clear my mind. Usually I try to go for a page in the notebook I have dedicated to journaling. If I don’t want to or don’t have the time for that, I try to get a few sentences or words down.

I am ever so excited to start writing blogs and putting my thoughts on paper to clear my brain. It will be exciting to see my writing improve, as well as, my attitudes, dialect and interests. I am excited to read back on blogs and see my essence at that time captured in what I have written. I also hope to help others and provide value from what I have learned and my experiences. It feels so exciting to write this down so that I won’t forget any of it. I hope this blog gives me the opportunity to have a screenshot of the past and will also be enjoyable for others to read!

Also, it provides me with something to think about and do during the lockdown, and hopefully give me the motivation to finish, or at least continue, the few personal projects I want to complete.
