As I miss a day of writing,
I feel
that I have lost something
I will never get back.
Now, this is absurd. Writing, is an unnatural act.
I mean, who takes hours out of their day
to compose an essay
about what happened to them
yesterday?
I do, and that’s a fact.
I don’t feel normal, unless I write.
I think about
how much better my writing could’ve been
if I had started earlier in life
with more dedication,
but unlike many
I believe I have a destiny
revealed
like lost dinosaur bones
in the sand
and
they’re very much alive.
Some think that thinking is a waste of time.
I didn’t write for years
because I picked-up War and Peace
and tried to read it.
It bored me to death.
Writing helps me process things.

I like to think that every viewpoint being shared – whether by TikTok, blogging, poetry or books, is valuable to human self-awareness. Even those that look toxic or even incite violent behaviour. We need censorship – protection – only for those who are not adult enough to examine carefully what we are going to believe. And maybe that is rather more than just those who are in child bodies. But taking a temporary break also shows that ‘you’ are still ‘in charge’, and not a mere vehicle for a habit of writing.

Yes, sbwheeler! I agree! Censorship reduces thinking. Thanks for your thoughtful comments!

Well yeah. I don’t feel justified in my existence, kinda, unless I write. Destiny is a good word for it. I enjoyed war and peace, but am dispirited at times that I could never write it. Mind you, Tolstoy needed an editor.

Writing is just something I have to do so I write every day. There’s nothing worthwhile on TV and War and Peace is just too long and dreary.
