The Stress - Sun, Aug 2, 2020

Why did I think this was a good idea?

  • __

Yesterday, I took the “brave” step of publishing my first ever blog. It was mostly an announcement about of this journey I have embarked on. Somewhere in the mix was also this GRAND declaration of writing everyday for 100 days. 100 days of stuff which I feel is worth talking about. That’s a lot of stuff, especially when I live alone, talk to just 3 people and have no clue how popular culture works.

The easy bit

One thing surprised me a lot about the whole experience, how easily I was able to put all of it down on the paper (or Markdown file). Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I am a natural, pro, type A individual who just makes things happen. Maybe because it was just an announcement and a few stupid jokes along the way, I managed.

The rush bit

At the end of the day I was filled with excitement and numerous brilliant (atleast in my head) ideas for things I want to talk about. Maybe I should make a list, maybe I should detail some of them, maybe I should write one in preparation for tomorrow!

The feelings bit

How the education system in our country is a shit show, and the NEP announcement this week. How FOSS is amazing, yet so difficult to adopt in every aspect of life. How cycling is beautiful, therapeutic and so much more.

Enter, anxiety. I am not really a education policy expert, I don’t really use open source that much, I haven’t really cycled for a while because of the pandemic.

The stressful bit

There was this constant voice in my head, asking me to write something important, asking me to not waste other people’s time. If I don’t have something important to say, or add value to an already existing conversation of internet intellectuals, maybe I shouldn’t speak at all.

The important bit

Thanks to a small interaction with my friend I remembered why I started this. Improving my writing, my confidence and not break the streak. I just need to start writing, something might come along.

So maybe that is what I will do going forward, talk about stuff that is present for me. If the world finds value in it, you are welcome! See you on the next one.

TATA!
