I was going through the posts that I wrote last year. One post a day. I didn’t even miss a single day inspite of a crazy schedule. What did I gain in the process? I gained a few markers of the moments that I was experiencing then. An overstimulated flight experience, feelings of inadequacy, painful nostalgia and regret and of course the joy of travel.
Then one day abruptly I stopped writing. I only reserved the blog for thoughtful pieces, long form and all that about meaningful topics. No ramblings of the free prose. A reflection of the madness within.
The singularity of being an erudite writer who writes on topics related to self improvement and management seems phony. That’s one thing that I have abhorred. To pretend to be someone that I am not. No it’s not that I don’t write those articles, just that my identity is not limited to only those pieces.
This duality has always been my undoing. But it is about time that I embrace it. Write freely and thoughtfully, ramble and amble, writing fast and slowly. So from time to time, hopefully daily, I will start to publish these reflection pieces which hopefully will have less of woe burning through them. While weekends will be reserved for deeper, more researched pieces.
here’s to embracing the duality of me.
