On losing my interest
I blog. But I no longer write. I believe I have lost my interest in
writing. Or at least what I thought was my interest. Whatever that was,
I am not doing that.
There was a time when I used to find new
and creative ways to put my thoughts out. Through fiction. Through
sarcasm. Through well-thought-out essays. What I write today is neither.
It's neither creative nor well-thought-out. By writing meaningless
updates from my life, I rob myself of the opportunity to think
deeply.
Is writing regular updates bad? Of course not. Many
enjoy doing that, and I respect that.
Is that what I would
call my interest? Absolutely not!
After freeing
myself of the pressure of being active on social timelines, I want
to regain my interest in writing. I want to give myself a chance to find
my creative self by giving myself less chance to attain a feeling of
achievement through mundane posts.
After all, writing every
day just to keep the space updated is not my intention. In my quest to
write more, I have forgotten why I started writing in the first place.
