About writing
It’s been a hot minute since I wrote anything. I stopped both paper and digital journaling a while ago. I guess both were just frustrating to a degree. Paper journaling is cumbersome, requiring paper and ink, and taking much more time than writing with a keyboard. Digital requires my Macbook or Mac Mini (as I hate writing on a phone), which I often don’t have with me. But even though I have problems with both, I routinely miss them. It’s a never-ending cycle of love and hate relationship (okay maybe that’s an overstatement - it’s not that deep). I guess the main thing is that I keep coming back. I just don’t know what to write about. It’s always hard in the moment, to come up with a topic that I find worthwhile to discuss with myself, but the truth is, I can write about anything, because unintentionally my writing captures my current state of mind either way, which is the most important thing - it makes me more relaxed by processing what I think, it slows me down, and when reading these back (on very rare occasions), it makes me reflect on how I felt at the time. The same way taking photos doesn’t have to be perfect to be valuable, writing doesn’t have to be meaningful. It just has to happen.

These blog posts are mainly written for myself so that I can improve my writing, but if some people find it and even just 1% of those find it useful, it accomplished more than I’ve ever wanted it to.
