I was so excited to write yesterday but I think there was too much of interference of ideas. It wasn't a great day, writing wise. It was one of those days where it didn't add up, like it wasn't doing justice to what I wrote before that. So I took a step back and left it, I started working on the project, that was constantly interfering with my writing process. I feel like being so caught up with all this is preventing form writing anything substantial on my blog. I know this was initially supposed to be something of just a practice writing kit sort of thing, but I do feel good when I write something worth reading in this space. The occasional nod or appreciation I get from my mother or my friends when they happen to read it gives me a lot of strength and encouragement. It is all the more reason to write something worthwhile rather than just randomly ranting. 

I don't know how far this little experiment of mine is going to work out, and how successful it is going to be, but the idea of writing something does give me a boost of energy. It gives me something to look forward to. I get s excited at the prospect of writing something, sometimes too excited perhaps, where it gets in the way of my writing. I need to stop letting it get into my head. I need to find a balance where I have enough excitement to get me to write but not too much that it interferes with my work. Having said that I can't say this enough I am really looking forward to where this journey is going to take me. I haven't felt this in a long while. That hopeful feeling that something good will come, that excitement deep inside to accomplish something, to see what lies down the road. I must admit I am equally afraid, I only hope that I not met with disappointment down the road. I guess I have to hold on to the positivity for as long as I can and keep going. 

I shall stop here for now and get back to what I was writing yesterday.

I can feel myself drifting away from all the things I wanted to do, every time I try harder to stay on track it makes it so much more difficult to do them, and if I just stop trying, I am overcome with guilt which creeps up on me the moment I seem to lose focus and it weighs me down like a heavy burden on my shoulder. So basically I am stuck in a loop of trying to just take a break and feeling guilty and straying further away from my goals and aspirations. And sometimes when I contemplate hard about where things are going I go on a down an even more dangerous path and I am afraid of what would happen if I go there.  So I keep trying to shun the guilt and numb all feeling and escape to a place that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. While I am able t do that when I am wide awake, I seem to have no control over what I dream, it taps me on my shoulder in my dreams and wakes me up so I don't sleep and keep pondering over what my life is going to be like. And that is one of the mos...

Yesterday, I watched the movie Bombshell, it stirred up a lot of emotions for me while watching that movie, I couldn't hold  my tears back, while watching it, especially this particular scene, wherein there are women who were harassed by Roger years ago, and each of their experiences are played out one by one, it was very distressing to hear it, this was the scene that shook me. There very many others, but this particularly had some impact on me. It has never been easy for women to come into the workforce, women have always been a lopsided world, the way things work for men are different and different for women, you are put at a disadvantage right from the start even before you can begin, because you're a woman, it automatically is assumed that whatever you do, a man can do it better, it doesn't matter how good you are at the job. The first thing you're seen as is a sexual object more than a good worker, what ever the role may be, if someone helps you out in somethin...

The Beginning

As a young adult I have always wanted to be a writer, and i wrote a lot of stuff, which i wouldnt exactly call great, so i felt embarrassed about it and then i stopped and then i started to write again but, no longer with the same ease that i did earlier on, now I keep struggling to write, I keep getting stuck at every point, I don't know what to write about so I thought of taking it up as a challenge this year, to write at least 250 words every day, about anything, without worrying about how good or bad it is, and see how that might help me in honing my writing skills. I hope I am able to follow through on this and not leave it like I did before. Earlier I thought I could postpone one day's writing to another but that only makes it worse, so the important thing is to not keep any backlogs I suppose. Let's see where this takes me.
