#254 Who are you trying to convince here?

You can be a writer with spelling mistakes.

A language learning expert who is afraid of speaking a foreign language.

A psychologist who doesn’t always feel good.

A teacher who doesn’t have all the answers.

You can be anything.

And you’ll always be human.

When writing, the most hurtful words enter your head when no words leave your pen.

A blank page is a mirror of our own insecurities, frightening, judgmental…

I found the only way to get through is meeting myself where I am.

Inspired, afraid, angry, frustrated, fearful of poor work, poor words, or no words at all…

This is where the journey starts.

The moment I accept that, I am free again.

This is why I love Stream-Of-Consciousness writing. Whatever state I am in, I transfer the stream of thoughts, the inner dialogue to the page, and see where the flow takes me.

Here’s what I’ve learned: it always takes me somewhere.

And that’s enough to get started.

Because a blank page is also a promise of all my creative potential, waiting to materialize.

And when the words finally emerge
everything flows
and my self-trust grows.

You may want to be a published, acclaimed author, or an online writer with a massive audience. But today, all you have to do is write.

You may want to be the best marathon runner in your country. But today, all you have to do is go for one run.

Whatever lofty vision you have for yourself, today, all you have to do is take one tiny step, one Tiny Trust Builder moving you closer to the person you want to be.
