Well, almost a year has passed by since my
last blog post. After the torrent of emotion that I showered in my last post, I
thought of going for a sabbatical. My blog actually needed a break from my
occasional volcanic outbursts LOL. Kidding you see. What I want to say is my life,
professional life, has fucked my ass royally. I don’t have time for myself. I
don’t have time for my family. I don’t have time for anything but work. So,
there went my days of blogging and along went the flow of writing.
Or, so I thought.
The good news is I have given up content
writing. Yeah, I have. What a wastage of time and energy that was. Keeping up
with keywords which hardly make sense can get into anyone’s nerve. But, then
again I thought writing is the only thing I knew. What else would I do, if not
writing? I forgot. I know another art. It has also got something to do with
words. Yeah, you guessed it.
It’s called talking.
So, you see, write or talk, I always end up
with selling words.
Though I have given up content writing, I
have not given up writing. I cannot. This is what I am. I have seen numerous
people giving up on their passions. They have numerous ready reasons to defend
themselves. Lack of time happens to be the cliché I am tired of.
I agree, being a writer is not easy. I
agree writing every day has its’ effect, especially when you know no one will
read your writing. Its’ scary not knowing what awaits after the next line.
It’s a battle. It’s an everyday battle. We
win some. We lose some. But, we win more than we lose. Our hardest battle
though is with our own selves. Every morning when the buzzer strikes 6, I
battle with myself. I debate whether to get off the bed and face the blank page
or roll over and get another sixty minutes of sleep. Every night when I come
home with aching eyes and pounding head, I go to war with myself. I stand torn
between enduring the torment of facing a blank page and chilling in front of
television with a tall glass of cold coffee.
Each time the blank page wins.
It’s my dream. If I don’t chase it who
will?
We all have dreams. We all have passions.
What we do with them makes all the difference. Sitting back and saying if only
does not help. The some days never comes. Situation never becomes favorable.
Time never magically appear.
You gotta make time for your passion. You
gotta pursue your dream. All you have is the moment. And the moment is fast
fading. Chase it today. Follow your passion today. Make it happen today.
The best thing you can do is making a
commitment. Commit to your calling. Even if the blank page does not call on to
you, reach out to it. Even if the empty canvas scares you, face it. And face it
today
If not today, then when?
It’s your dream. Make it come true.
