When things get hard, I write.
Writing lets me see my situation objectively, take it apart, and think through my next step.
The person who gets the most out of this blog is, of course, ‘me’.
Putting things into words like this is genuinely helpful — it’s also my trick for pulling myself out of an emotional swamp, fast.
(You know how it goes — when you transcribe meeting notes and look back at them later, you remember things in more detail than you expected, everything’s tidied up in your head, and it slots neatly into its folder.)
And so, as I walk toward the goals I’m trying to reach,
the things that try to shake me seem to fall away pretty easily.
Why? Because I’ve clearly ‘defined’ them in writing and put them on record —
like I’ve been carrying around a recipe, or a map of every trap on the path.
And as a bonus,
That’s how I ended up keeping this blog, and along the way I’ve been recording the things I’ve wrestled with and lived through.
Later on, it becomes a record of what kind of life I’ve lived,
and when I’m older, I’m hoping I’ll be able to flip through it like a book — “Ah, this is what I was up to in my 30s, this is how I lived in my 40s” — and actually enjoy the read.
