Gotta keep on writing


One day I saw myself typing “losing wait.” I can’t believe in my eyes. I can’t spell any more. I used to laugh at native people who put “their” instead of “there.” Here I am, becoming one of them, in a bad way. I thought it might be because I haven’t read much lately or I haven’t seriously written recently. One good explanation is I didn’t put my mind into the writing. It happens when you don’t see the difference between similar words. I write everyday but short emails which normally do not have much content to it. That sort of things shouldn’t be considered writing even though it is embarrassing to find any common mistakes in an email, like misspellings or incomplete sentences. So I decided to start writing again. I need to get my linguistic brain active and sharp. But what to write? My dear DK wrote, “It’s hard to share.” It is true sharing can be hard. It may hurt your feelings if you thought you were sharing cool things to your friends and your friends thought you were a weirdo. I told him, “who cares, if you think you are cool, you are cool.” Your self confidence will attract other people. Anyways, his writings are more reader-oriented than mine. I sometimes just need to write my thoughts down so that they get through. Sometimes I just need a means of expression. I sound like writing to myself than to my readers. Well who cares, I am the benefactor and the beneficiary of the whole process. I would read it again one day and laughed at myself or be amazed by my deep thoughts. While I doubt I would read my writings again, when I write, I reflect and express. Then I move on and remember my thought process and conclusions. And here it goes…
