Writing about not writing

I had something specific in mind to write about today, but I decided against it. Instead, I’m writing about not writing. It’s weird putting things here because no one will read it, but that could change some day. I watch a youtuber named Derapy who did youtube for years before gaining popularity last year. He did it for the love of the game. That’s how I am about writing in general, and that’s how I am about this blog. I create because it’s a part of me. I would implode on myself without some kind of self expression.

I had a period of intense burnout in 2023. That year, I read the least amount of books I’ve ever read, I wrote the least I’ve ever written, and I accomplished the least I’ve ever accomplished. I think that we all need breaks, but not expelling that internal energy also had its consequences. I’m at a much healthier place now, finding balance between staying busy and creating. I’ll keep at it.

Thanks 👍🏿
