Share it. Don't keep it.

Everytime that I wasn't able to compose new blog entries for months, I almost always start it off with 'Lately I had been idle.' This line has become very used that I thought that having it as my introduction would really be a fat chance. Well, what the hell? I managed to start it off with that line, too, since I already mentioned it.

Everytime that I compose new blog entries, its already given that I wrote it because something happened. I don't usually compose new ones just because an idea popped up on my mind. It must be a very big change for those who are reading this now since this is already the second paragraph and I haven't even explained the real reason behind this post.

Why?


Simply because I wrote this just to explain my sudden idleness as a writer. Well, simply put, I had the misfortune of having to experience a writer's block. It even came to a point when I was so sure that I won't be able to write again. What inspired me to come back to composing new entries was when my boyfriend told me that I'm the first girl who ever made him a blog. Upon hearing that, I thought to myself: "What the heck. Writer's block or not, I can still make new entries simply because I'm a writer. Writing is one of
my passions so if I stop now, I would've just thrown away four years worth of a dream. "

So now, I am back. My next entries might not be as good as my previous ones but I believe that it'll be good in no time. It's just like using an old typewriter after having it kept in the attic for years. The keys are going to be impossibly hard to press but use it everyday and it'll be as good as new soon.

I consider myself lucky for having writing as one of my talents. Not everyone's having the time of their lives composing new entries. Some find it rather difficult, if not boring. I just realized that it's such a shame to throw this away when some people are doing their best to compose a single entry. Talents, after all, are supposed to be enhanced and shared- not thrown away. :)
