What Writing is teaching me about the silence between words?

Writing was never an easy task for me from the starting only. I started with hesitation, but it has given me confidence to avoid it. While writing, I prefer silence over chaos just like others. But there is always chaos going on in my mind during those silent hours.

I understood one thing clearly in the beginning: it would never be easy to get rid of chaotic thoughts. But slowing them down is in my control. Giving them words is in my control.

I remember an incident in which I realised how pause works as relief while giving words to emotions. I was writing my blog as usual around eleven at night. At that time, I was committed to write before twelve midnight. I was writing my thoughts on my device. Nervousness on my face, heartbeat fast, and a question: would I be able to complete it before time?

The question and situation didn’t let me stop, and I wrote my blog in a hurry without pauses and published it. I completed it within time and was happy; nervousness changed to a smile on my face. But at what cost, I realised later on.

While rereading my blog, I found several grammatical mistakes. The root problem I found was overwriting. At that time, I understood how silence and pauses are necessary to share anything. Pauses don’t mean emptiness, but they help to write with depth. From then on, I have been writing blogs taking my time, no more commitments.

Time gaps while writing help my emotions to breathe. It doesn’t mean I disgrace my views. But I require some time to give them words. Flowers should be chosen so wisely so that the garland looks beautiful. So my words define my emotions in the blog. I try to share them with full honesty.

Silence may feel like weakness, but it is ultimate strength every time.

Why I Decided to Start Writing as a Beginner?

As you could understand by the title only that I am trying blogging even without experience. Today only, I created my Blogger account for a single reason — the reason that many of us face nowadays, the inability to talk to anyone but wanting to talk out our views. Some say it’s an introvert kind of behaviour; I don’t think it’s introvert behaviour. In fact, I think it’s all about a person’s hesitation in talking to someone. I am the same kind of guy who doesn’t know how to convey himself to others. All I have is the hesitation of what if someone says something. Then I decided, why should I not write to express myself ? Writing is the only mode of communication I am comfortable with. Why starting felt scary? Starting to write is the most difficult part. All I was doing was thinking about what I would write and what if it doesn’t work out for me. There was a certain sort of confusion going on in my mind and a little bit of fear about whether I would write things well. The ma...

What hesitation taught me about starting something new?

Yesterday, I wrote a blog about writing a blog without experience. While writing the blog, I was having a certain sort of confusion or hesitation, which is normal for me. But I thought it is a universal rule that whenever an individual starts something, he or she faces certain confusion or has a fear of judgment. A fear which can be considered the biggest problem an individual faces before starting something new. But I thought, what is there to fear? Whosoever judges me, just judge. Fear is normal, but overcoming that fear is not normal for everyone. I know my efforts will help me overcome that fear. I made that effort yesterday and wrote. It felt amazing after writing a blog. I felt that no judgment can break my will to write. Hesitation and fear can only be beaten by the key known as consistency — a word which is familiar to everyone, but not everyone follows. I was also a non-consistent person, but I thought, why don’t I become consistent if it helps in my growth? Why d...

How Daily Writing Is Improving My Focus and Clarity?

Hi everyone, how are you all? Today’s topic is something that we all look for to do any sort of work. It’s something that is required even before the starting of any work, i.e., focus and clarity. Isn’t it, guys? Have you ever started your work without focus or clarity? I think no, because you can’t even think to start without these two. Guys, just tell me, do you like scattered things or well-mannered things? I think well-mannered will be the answer. So where does it come from? It comes from focus and clarity. Earlier, I wrote about the thinking of thoughts or the web of thoughts that revolves in my mind for writing and not starting it; they all were scattered thoughts. But nowadays, I know what to write and how to write. That’s the work focus and clarity have done for me. I know from where to start, and I know what to write about my learnings and thoughts in the blog. The scattered thoughts got channelised into a single one, i.e., to start writing. Daily writing play...
