Taking the first step

At the start of this year I decided that I will write a little more than usual and also post it on my website . But since the last few days I have been writing and deleting stuff, not knowing what to write, how to write, should it be a poem, a story, am I writing this good, is what i am writing correct. After wasting so much time and almost gving up, I thought, why not write about what I am feeling right now. The more imperfect it is, the more perfectly it would capture what I am trying to express. I wrote half an article only to later realize that what I was writing was factually wrong. I started a poem but couldn't capture my true emotions. I have this website and I dont know what to use it for. I want to write, I want to write better, but it does come at a cost. I might write and post a few times and then I might suddenly stop. And it would really make me ask myself, "Did I really want to write or was it just wishful thinking, a passing desire?". Maybe the lack of motivation and the difference I would see between my work and the works of those "awesome" people on the internet would dishearten me a little. I would not be able to stop myself from thinking that I should invest this time in something I could actually get good at. And that's the paradox, we get good at what we give time and effort to. Do I really want to write , I really don't know. There's so much we can do with our life, and choosing just a few things seems really limiting but on the other hand what's the point of being a failure at everything. We cant to everything but at least we can do something.















Interesting perspective and food for thought. It aligns with spiritual learnings from almost all cultures but really difficult to internalise.
