What Writing Is Teaching Me About Not Needing to Explain Everything?

Felt low, felt blank, felt hesitation; but never described. I did mention them but never explained what emotions I had felt or experienced. Silence has been a comfort space for me to handle all circumstances. Feelings and emotions could only be felt; they can't be demonstrated through some words.

Every day’s blog is all about exploring my voice on this writing journey. A voice which was wrapped with layers of hesitation and fear of judgment before is now free to express anytime, anywhere. On this journey, I understood how an expressing voice differs from an explaining voice.

Expressing feels like just expelling all thoughts politely from the library of the brain. But explaining is just like reading expelled books to readers. When I started writing, expressing was my first and foremost goal. It's the only reason I chose my first topic as “starting as a beginner without any experience.”

For me, blogs are expressed and shared, not explained. I also didn't understand this initially, but as days passed, the difference became visible. Messy thoughts sometimes misguided me a lot to describe, but I avoided them by deleting them. The happiness after writing matured thoughts, after erasing and writing again, could only be felt; words can't define it.

Nobody is perfect, then why elaborate perfectly? Over-explanation has always created a mess in my blogs. I remember an incident while typing opinions on overthinking. I uncovered layers of explanation but left the layer of experience covered. While reading my blog again before publishing, I realised my mistake. I selected all the text and clicked the backspace button.

I started again, sharing my experience of how I had dealt with the problem of overthinking. While writing the second time, I completely avoided every learning except my personal ones.

A story started with moments doesn't continue with facts.

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...
