Lately, Iāve noticed something about myselfāIāve seen plenty of stories out there that Iāve wanted to talk about on my blogs, but I just havenāt had the energy to actually sit down and write them. Itās not that I donāt have opinions, or that I donāt care. Quite the oppositeāI care too much sometimes. But when youāre drained, even the things you want to do, the things that normally feel exciting or fulfilling, just feel heavy.
Iāve been in that space recently. Iāll scroll past a headline, or hear about something going on in the world, and a part of me immediately thinks, that would make for a really good blog post. But then reality sets ināI donāt have the spark to dive in the way I want to. I donāt want to force it, because then it wouldnāt come out authentic.
Writing, for me, has always been about honesty and presence. And right now, my presence has been wrapped up in simply trying to hold onto enough energy for the day-to-day. So if the words havenāt been flowing as often, thatās where Iām at.
Maybe thatās the lesson here: sometimes itās okay to let the blog sit quietly for a while, even when ideas are piling up in the back of your head. Sometimes itās okay to admit that youāre drained. That honesty, too, is part of the writing journey.
