This is true in many situations. Sometimes there is hesitation to do things - even those that we enjoy the most. At such a phase we start doubting our own beliefs and abilities. It has happened to me on many occasion. I have realized long back that I enjoy writing. Nothing in particular. About anything that actually inspires me to write. But there are certain times when I don't feel like writing anything. When my friends - who know that I write, ask me why I haven't written anything for some time, I tell them that I don't feel like. In those days, i doubt whether I can really write. Whether I really have it me.
But it's just a phase. That too, I have realized. My wrong English is to be pardoned, though. One spark and I start again. And once I start it's like the waves in the ocean - no recess. Thoughts that have been logged in for a long time start flowing and fingers keep typing.
Words actually give meaning to emotions. That's why writers are sensitive. Because if you can't feel a thing, how can you write about it? A small piece from my old diary - I think this was a result of having tried to put my feelings into words.
No Title
Life seems to be a thorny bush
I feel like I am struggling in heavy push
Many things in my mind to say
But I am so helpless today
My head is full of helpless thoughts
But no one about to soothe my heart.
I keep praying to god - Please give me strength
And I keep saying to my uneasy heart -
Do Good
Think good
Hope for good.
Life has a good purpose,
So go deep into life and don't float on the surface.
