When My Mind's Full, but My Blog is Blank
Some days, the ideas won’t land. But instead of quitting, I’m showing up as I am—messy, floating, and still writing.
A Head Full of Balloons
Today marks day 55 of my daily blogging challenge, and I’ve hit a wall. So many ideas float into my head—one after another—but they slip away just as fast, like balloons slipping from my grip and disappearing into the sky. At the end of the day, I look at my hands and realize I’m not holding anything. Empty again.
Bloggers I Admire vs. Me Today
Part of me feels embarrassed. After all, the bloggers I admire seem to post something thoughtful every single day. But I’ve learned something about myself: when I’m too hard on myself for a single “off” day, I tend to give up entirely. One misstep, and I’d knock over the whole tower I spent so long building. That used to be my pattern.
This Blog Is My Experiment
But this blog is my experiment. So today, I’m choosing to document the messiness. I want to show up honestly, even if that means admitting I’ve got nothing polished to say.
Taking Care of Today’s Me
I’ll tidy up the house, read a book I’ve been meaning to read, and go about the rest of my day like normal. Because tending to my balance today will help tomorrow’s me too. And right now, more than anything, I want to keep writing this blog.
