No. I couldn't.
I couldn't ignore my thoughts, my notions, my perspectives. The first thought before even voicing it out was true to myself. It was true to my voice, my thoughts. Every time I failed, I was true to myself. Every time I improved, I was true to myself.
Without owning the words, improvement doesn't exist. Neither does growth matter, nor do effort. Even my smallest grammatical flaws matter.
A few days back, I thought it's enough. I didn't have anything to express. I was numb, out of notions. I waited one hour. No thoughts. Two hours passed. I was sitting with a blank face. Three hours passed. Multiple thoughts messed me up. What if I couldn't voice out today? Would I be able to maintain my streak?
My inner voice shattered all the unwanted questions with a small moment. However, out of curiosity, one doubt popped up. Did this small moment matter? Is this something to share?
The silence within me answered yes.
A moment which defined my efforts to me.
Days back, I skipped writing out myself because I was feeling sick. I decided to voice out my thoughts twice within a day. Multiple thoughts, no calmness left. Did I skip my thoughts? Despite all the chaos, I did express myself twice within a day. I wrote every single notion within me; complete or incomplete didn't matter.
I felt calm after it. The clarity, the calmness after writing out myself, showed me the true me. The true me that I could. The true me that I could show up without fearing failure. I felt peace after ignoring the ignorance within me.
I waited for thoughts. I didn't ignore them. I got blank. I didn't ignore it. I hesitated, I ignored it. I feared judgment, I ignored it. I ignored every single thing that was pulling me down. That was pulling me away from being aware of myself.
Don't Ignore. Be Honest with Yourself.
