Writing with doubt
“I think many of my posts mainly are reminders to myself.”
I’ve included that sentence in two of the emails I replied to today.
And it’s true. I constantly need to remind myself why I’m blogging, and why not to hit the delete button.
Doubt has followed my blogging journey ever since I started over twenty years ago. It’s always there in the background, like endless scrolling, revealing new doubts every time I think I’ve finally reached the bottom.
So why even continue? What’s the deal? Why bother when it’s surrounded by so much resistance?
Because I don’t trust that guy.
I’ve listened to and followed that “friendly advice” more than once, and it has never felt good in the long run. It feels good for a couple of days, sometimes weeks or months, but I always end up coming back to blogging.
I’m sure I’ll fall for that voice in my head many more times. And I hope I’ll manage to crawl back up again and again.
So, as a reminder to myself and anyone this resonates with:
Keep on blogging!
