To be honest, I didn't feel like writing an article today. I have been brainstorming what to write and although all of my ideas would have been great, I just didn't feel like taking the time to research and write about my opinions. One part of me is lazy and self-conscious while another has way too many things going on and sitting down to write will just take up more time. I've been way too busy and lazy to write lately and that's a problem for me. I've always been "the writer --" crafting stories and writing my feelings but it has all slowed down. I developed a love-hate relationship with writing, where I enjoy writing but to an extent. I have had writer's block for at least a year and have not written anything for a while. Not writing, for me, makes me feel lost. That's why starting today, I will be taking time out to write. I think it's important for all of us to take time out to write. It not only takes weight off your chest but it gives your hand something to do besides scrolling on social media feeds. Academic writing is not really considered fun in my book, so just writing a letter, making lists, writing about your surroundings, or even your feelings about a class or a song can go a long way. Expressing yourself through writing can be liberating. Spending just 10 minutes writing every day can make a difference for someone with writer's block or with a busy schedule in this crazy place called life.
