Starting something is hard

It’s been close to 10 years since I’ve consistently done any sort of blogging. It’s this weird sort of feeling, just putting my thoughts down. Who would want to read this? Why should anyone pay any attention? It’s just going to be boring. It’s a waste of time. There’s a hundred reasons to simply…. not… write anything.

Doubt is a funny thing. It permeates your body. Seeps in nice and deep. For me, it keeps me from doing things. It keeps me second guessing myself, and results in my fight or flight instincts to just seize up. And hey, it’s easy to do nothing. To not do something is about the easiest thing in existence. But when you actually want to? When you feel like maybe, it’s kid of important to actually just write. Just throw your thoughts out there? Doubt can really, really get in the way.

So that’s what I want this little blog section to be. Just a space for my thoughts. Just a place where I can write about (admittedly very random) topics that interest me. A little bit of this, and a little bit of that. I’m placing no pressure on myself with this. This blog is simply that. My thoughts. If they end up being entertaining and insightful, all the better. If they are just a rambling jumble of words that don’t go anywhere, that’s fine too. The point here is just to write. To get into the habit of writing. To be happy when I do, and to celebrate the fact that, hey, I did something. It needn’t be profound or special, but it’s something. And something is good.
