What to write?

Hi everyone, welcome back to Sunday Journal. It’s been a busy day filled with boring chores and interesting exploration but arriving at late night, I still procrastinated to write this blog. Right now, Verene is sleeping beside me as I’m writing this and YES, I’ve taken a video of her sleeping XD. Unlike previous weeks, this week I don’t have an ingenuine idea that I would like to share with the world. Instead, I was thinking about what topics should I write about. That’s why I ended with this topic of what to write.

While I was thinking of what to write, it might not be what to write but instead, what is cool to write. Not gonna lie, even though sometimes when you try to make things casual, you still ended up following a set of rules which you unknowingly set up in the process. This Sunday Journal thing is very casual but after more than a year of writing it, I can’t help to go through a cool checklist every time before I begin writing. Is this topic cool, is this idea ingenuine, is that something that people will get wowed by it?

There’s probably nothing wrong with this because people just improve beyond their previous iterations. That’s how we grow. However, what is important is actually what we actually want and whether we are comfortable with it. People can easily get bound up by rules for no reason and just hold on to them even though they’re not comfortable with them and they don’t question it too. I realized this myself too. Before I began writing this topic, I was gonna write something cool that I don’t actually feel comfortable writing about and that is not me. There is nothing wrong with trying to be better and improve or follow the invisible set of rules which we unconsciously setup but it is important at the same time to question it and question ourselves on whether that is something we’re comfortable with and is the end goal of what we actually want.

Don’t do things just because you’ve been doing them. It makes our minds lazier. Let’s do things for the right reason and a reason for which we will like ourselves for doing it.
