2018 was a year of great changes, and 2019 continued those changes. My life took on some fundamental shifts. Some of these shifts were good, some were bad, but they all really shifted my thinking, behavior and lifestyle. One big shift I am grateful I made is the fact that I started going deeper on my writing.
Writing has really proven to something I feel suited to. At least I feel like the exercise of writing is something I am suited to. I greatly enjoy the opportunity writing gives me to formulate thoughts. I’ve always believed in writing to find ideas, not because you have ideas. Writing is about the discovery of ideas for me. The deeper I write the more interesting my ideas seem to be. I wrote a book in 2019, and that really pulled me deep thinking in a way I haven’t done before. I feel as though writing is a journey into the deep water.
Journeys into the deep waters is something I need in my life right now. I am so grateful I can get there through writing. I have been unemployed for a long time now. Writing keeps my mind sharp, without it I would be in trouble. I am so happy I have found a tool that allows me sharpen myself regardless of what jobs I have or how much money I have. I can always write. If I had to do it with a pen and paper, I could still do it. I am grateful to find something that is so personally rewarding that really cannot be taken from me. For me writing satisfies deep things within me that I have long let lay dormant. I am glad I took the time to go out on the limb and give “being a writer” a try.
I could stand to try many similar things. I think writing is part of the answer to many questions I have about life right now. There may be more answers out there, that just need to be tried. Writing is just the first steps to me. For now I am a writer of simple thoughts and that is a good thing.
