A teammate asked me today “have you blogged this week?” I haven’t.
I’ve had ideas. Some I’ve written down. Others I haven’t. Sometimes I go back to the ones I’ve written down and have no idea what I was thinking. But it’s good to get them out none the less.
I have a friend who prods me via text messages with quotes and articles about writing. One that’s stuck with me since she sent it is “I don’t sit down to think about what to write. I sit down to write about what I think.”
Ideas aren’t meant to be trapped away inside our minds for all time. They are meant to be released. Sometimes they sprout wings and fly away. Sometimes they dissipate into thin air never to be heard from again. Both are ok. It’s the getting them out that matters.
The ones that do get out, when we let them, have the potential to grow and change and move around. Bouncing from person to person. Creating change. Giving hope. Spreading love. Creating opportunities of all kinds.
I’m grateful that people push me to write. I hold myself accountable to this constant nagging ache. I try my best to listen when it comes. To not judge. To set my thoughts free.
Did I blog this week? Yeah I f-ing did.
Hugs
