As I’ve had a lot more stillness, and free time lately, I’ve also found myself thinking of writing again. I was listening to a recent episode of the pathless path with
, I resonated a lot with their conversation on writing, and it inspired me to revisit this space.I naturally worry that time has passed since my last post, I revisit old posts, and it’s so easy to see how I would phrase things differently now. But I guess that’s good…growth is good, and noticing it is also good.
I’ve also been thinking of how I would write differently this time, more low pressure, and less perfectionist or trying to sound “right”. I know this is also a form of practice, it’s much easier to write when I’ve been practising writing.
I’ve noticed that writing gets me reading a lot more, and perhaps more deeply. I tend to read the most when I’m travelling, although I’d like to read as much when I’m just at home and have more of a habit around it.
The time away has also got me thinking about why I used to write and what I actually care about. I enjoy writing what comes through to me, what I feel like expressing. When I start writing again, I feel like I’m allowing myself to actualise, publishing is a way of giving it an opportunity to connect with other people.
Thanks for reading, hope you’re doing well, or how are you doing? ✨👋🏾
Glad to know that you're writing again! I can relate to this because I was stuck in a writing rut for a while but I'm slowly healing and finding my pace again. I'm learning to write for myself first... as a form of self-expression, and then trust that if others can connect with my writings, they'll feel comfortable and make themselves at home.
