Day 0
This is an announcement of what might be a journey of a 1000 miles for me. I imagine my path of movement will resemble this trail of light, but hopefully the skies and the road will be as friendly as they are on this picture.
I could call myself many things, but a writer? Nah, not so sure about that one. Sure, I don’t mind crafting an email here and there, or writing a piece of documentation for a project I’m working on. Instant messaging doesn’t count, as aren’t task lists and calendar appointments.
Now that I think of it, I do spend a significant amount of time writing, but it’s mostly to take care of the day-to-day stuff and relieve my brain from having to memorize things, which has over time become both more taxing and less appealing.
Being able to memorize stuff might be a fantastic skill, but if my life ever ends up depending on me recovering a piece of memory, I’ll just hope my phone has enough battery and access to the internet. Otherwise, nice knowing you :)
On the other hand, I do find myself enjoying conversations a lot. Meaningful conversations, where I can learn something new, exchange ideas and experiences, or hear something funny. Being a part of those hopefully means I am an equal contributor to their value and I actually have something worthy to add.
Seeing how these conversations are few and far apart, which is unfortunate but probably normal, trying to develop a habit of writing will hopefully allow me to achieve a higher flow of thought and strengthen ways of expressing my thinking in a better fashion. And then, in turn have even better conversations.
Alright, here we go then! Starting tomorrow, I’ll try to write about something every day. It’s an experiment, an exercise and an opportunity to learn and adapt accordingly.
If you end up reading this and have any kind of feedback, I would appreciate it if you took a moment to write it down. I ❤ feedback! :)
