I miss writing.
I miss coming on Facebook and just… writing.
Writing down an idea that randomly crossed my mind.
Writing about something that happened during my day.
Writing about something I learnt.
Writing just because I had something to say.
These days, I find myself holding on to so many thoughts and ideas.
I think about them.
I save them somewhere in my head.
Sometimes I even tell myself, “I’ll write about this later.”
And then later never comes.
I still journal, but even that isn't the way it used to be.
And honestly, I feel a little guilty about it.
Because writing has always been such a huge part of me. It was one of the ways I processed life, understood myself, and made sense of the things happening around me.
A lot has changed.
Maybe I have changed too.
And perhaps that's why I've been struggling to find my way back to the version of myself that could sit down and turn every random thought into a page.
But I'm trying not to be too hard on myself.
Sometimes, stepping backward is actually part of moving forward.
Maybe this season isn't about forcing myself to become who I used to be.
Maybe it's about finding a new way to express the person I'm becoming.
I don't know.
I'm just thinking out loud.
But I really do miss writing. 🥹
