Day 29 - Near, Yet So Far And Probably Messed Up

Some days, the words come so easily. And then there’s today—a day marked by a writing tango that would give even the most indecisive waltzer a run for their money.

Tonight’s attempt has been a series of starts and stops, an odyssey of writing and deleting. There I was, determined to write something meaningful, only to backspace it out of existence in record time. With each sentence, a whole new genre seemed to emerge: existential reflection, a plot twist, maybe even some poetic musings about coffee. And yet…delete, delete, delete.

Act One: Write.

Act Two: Delete.

Act Three: Reconsider topic entirely.

Act Four: Delete again.

Act Five: Question life choices.

Act Six: Repeat.

Suddenly, I find myself staring at a blank screen, feeling so close, yet so far, from the finish line of “Thirty Days, Thirty Posts.” The irony isn’t lost on me—it’s Day 29, and here I am, hovering in writer’s limbo, as if Day 30 is some mythical land just out of reach.

Naturally, my mind jumps ahead. I’m thinking, "What should I write for Day 30?" But what should I write for Day 29? Not so sure. Maybe that's exactly what today's post is supposed to be: a celebration of indecision, a nod to the writer’s dilemma. So here it is, in all its overthought glory.

Some posts are profound. Some are insightful. And then there's Day 29.

Day One -- What Am I Going To Write About?

To be honest, I’m not sure. I didn’t have a plan for this. A few ideas popped into my head yesterday, but I let them slip away without writing them down. So now, I’m here, wondering... What should I write about? I’ve always admired how writers seem to find the words. They don’t just tell stories; they make sense of life. Whether it’s fiction, essays, or poems, their words flow effortlessly, drawing you into their world. It’s like magic—captivating and transformative. Somehow, they’ve mastered the craft of turning simple words into gems that stay with you long after you’ve read them. And then, there’s me. I just write. I let my thoughts spill out, raw and unfiltered, without much structure or thought. No carefully woven narrative, no grand flow—just whatever comes to mind. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ll ever get to the level of those writers who make it all seem so easy. Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. But right now, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m writing. I showed ...

Day 2 - What's Your Purpose?

Have you ever truly asked yourself, What’s my purpose? It’s a question many ask, but few genuinely pursue. We often move through life, following routines without stopping to consider why we’re doing what we do. Many choices are made simply because "that’s how it’s always been done," without questioning the deeper reasons behind them. Think about it: How often do people choose a career because it's popular, without ever asking themselves, Why do I want to do this? It’s rare to pause and reflect on what drives us at our core. But those who are in pursuit of purpose— they ask the important questions. They don’t just accept choices blindly; they challenge the status quo, question the outcomes, and evaluate the significance of their actions in relation to their larger goals. Purpose provides clarity. It’s the compass that guides decisions and actions, ensuring every step is intentional. It’s not just about achieving success; it’s about creating meaningful change,...

Day 3 - The Power of Letting Go: Why It's Okay to Give Up

In a world that glorifies perseverance and celebrates grit, we're often told to keep pushing through no matter the cost. "Winners never quit, and quitters neve win" has been drilled into us since childhood. But what if sometimes the strongest, wisest choice is to let go? What if walking away could be your key to unlocking a better future? There are moments in life when we know—deep down—that continuing down the same path is futile. Yet, we keep going, fueled by hope that maybe, just maybe, things will turn around. We tell ourselves, "I'll give it one more try," even when we know it's unlikely to work. So why do we hold on? There are many reasons, but they often come down to fear: What will people say? Will I be seen as a failure? How can I let go when I’ve given it my everything? I can’t imagine my life without this. There must be a way to make it work! These thoughts cloud our judgment, keeping us stuck. But the real point is not the reason...
