No, you don’t have to be very good at writing to start writing. Actually, what I am trying to point out is the need to write your thoughts down when you want to make sense of things.
As much as we wanted to live a life most people portray in their social media feeds, there are moments in our lives when things don’t seem to go as how we expect they would be.
There are unexpected twists and turns (yes, you can include the pandemic here), that caught some of us unawares.
And instead of going down the rabbit hole about how your life pales in contrast to others you know who seem to be checking off so many things in their bucket list, you might want to start writing down why you feel the things you feel today.
By doing so, you might eventually realize that the emotions which seem to get the life out of you today aren’t that big of a deal when you put them on paper.
From Life is in the Transitions:
Writing is a supercharged form of the story-telling we already do in our heads. It forces us to take ideas that are abstract and unstructured, sometimes even in the back of our minds, and put them into some form that’s both concrete and structured. Along the way, the ideas become sharper, the emotions crisper, and the meaning clearer. And what once seemed like a solitary source of suffering begins to feel both safer and more universal. Also, by converting our thoughts into words, we participate, just for a moment, in the act of creation.
