It’s been 9 months since I wrote on this blog. I feel as I have neglected it just like I have in the past with my various diaries, journals, and blogs. From July to December 2017, I was at a loss for words and was one of the toughest semesters I have dealt with. I was exhausted by the time winter break came around and I just needed to revive.
Thinking that going home would be enough. However, this semester I am fully loaded with a plate that is really overflowing. Those of you who know me, have always known me to be a busy one or a “workaholic” because I thrive in those circumstances. So don’t be surprised when you hear this, again.
Today, my blog came about in discussion and I remembered how much pride and proudness I hold for it. Which is why I am here back ready to write a post at least once in two weeks. For me, words are precious and words hold the power to cause change. I don’t write anymore or talk anymore where there isn’t a purpose. Maybe this came with age or experiences, who knows.
I have 24 drafts and about 30 blog topics that I want to write about. Writing for me is therapeutic and calming. I would start writing those blogs and stop midway thinking how this blog would enlighten my readers. I don’t write to simply share experiences or to put jargon online.
I write so that I can tell my readers that they are not alone and they have someone who can put their blobs in their minds into words to express. That became difficult for me for the last 6 months, where I, myself was unable to put my own thoughts in order and into words that would do my emotions justice. Suddenly, it became so hard for me to use my words and I felt at such a loss. I beat myself up pretty badly for it. So I took a hiatus and didn’t force my blog anymore.
This moment can apply to any of you in various different scenarios that you may have had in the past, present or even future (you lucky duck…haha). For me, after taking this long hiatus, I am able to write my comeback blog with ease. It’s tough but I am grateful for not forcing myself and putting out blogs just for the sake of it. I hold a very specific purpose for this blog that I had planned to follow through always.
It’s good to be back! 🙂
