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.
