From the last few days, things aren't well. Let's take a break. Let's skip a day. Sometimes these thoughts keep coming back to me again and again. Sometimes I couldn't get myself. Sometimes I leave notions incomplete. Despite all the problems, I try to put my notions into words every single day. I know the reason. The reason writing taught me; not on the very same day, but a few days later.
Trust. Trusting the process I had been trying to follow every single day. Believing the process that it would help me get better with every passing day I express myself. It's about trusting something that gave me the confidence and courage to be myself. Things go up and down, but not believing the process wouldn't help me learn and grow. With time, trusting would definitely help me learn and grow.
I remembered an incident, the very time I thought of quitting. "Let's stop writing, it's not giving me back something." These exact words made me think and reconsider my decision to express myself. A self-doubt arose: am I going wrong or right? I got silent. An hour passed. Slowly, two passed, then three, then four. The day was about to be over.
Being in a hurry to think, I thought, let's express today and think peacefully. I decided to put my overthinking into words. At that very moment, the title came to my mind. I got my answer to continue writing as long as I could. The confidence to express without hesitation what I feel made me believe in the process for the very first time. For the first time in my life, I felt trusting myself enough to put my thoughts into words was the right decision to be myself and improve every day.
From that day, the trust strengthened day by day. Meanwhile, I got to understand myself much better than earlier. I understood my mistakes, I experienced some moments which taught me about myself, my writing, and life.
It's not that I changed, it's the trust which changed me. Trusting the process, trusting the thoughts, whether complete or incomplete, doesn't matter. At the end, nothing could help you grow without trusting the process. Even putting in effort wouldn't guarantee success without trusting the process.
Take a decision. Trust yourself and the process.
