Affirmation
Let the fog clear. You might be surprised by what you see.
I wrote on Thursday about ‘Digging deeper’—Wednesday was average, at best. Instead of bunkering down, I sought comfort in the usual medium; it tasted sour, there was no comfort, more an acceleration of negativity. Some words from the post:
“Truth be known, last night I seriously questioned what I’m doing here.”
It’s Sunday here, and it feels better. Let the fog clear. You might be surprised by what you see.
Yesterday was a rain day; they say we need it; they always do. There was time to think. I asked this question because I had previously debated both sides with a partner.
“Who am I writing for, and should it matter?”
I would say me, she would say no, the readers. It was a different genre, and part of it was whether to paywall content. I was indifferent to pay-walling because I didn’t value my words—I knew cricket, but always felt I was stealing when it came to writing. She disagreed.
So here it does feel like I write for myself—how selfish! It really is an internal conversation. A lot of the content I share is recall, previous experiences; not trying to fix things, but simply offering a view.
I have no one to argue with now, but I did receive a simple affirmation message from that previous debater:
“It is worth something, Nick.”
