I journaled consistently throughout the month of May
and I really wonder why
I strongly believe that if I were to sit with something long enough, it would reveal itself to me.
That’s what I’m hoping would happen with this piece I’m writing.
On a serious note, I cannot deny that May was a special month. I went skinny dipping.
No, seriously. I said yes to what I later found out was going to be the best trip I’ve ever been on. I threw caution to the wind and allowed myself to be mesmerized.
Every day felt like I was in a trance.
I journaled consistently throughout the month of May and I really wonder why.
For the first time in my life, I made it up to 20 days of journaling. Pretty impressive. These were my first and last sentences;
- I had the time of my life.
- I’m ready to start again from ground zero.
What I realized was that I was really letting myself write what I felt. Short or long. I felt content with writing only one sentence and I didn’t make a conscious effort to stay consistent. I just wrote when I felt and I wrote what I felt.
I counted, 23 days. That’s not so bad.
This piece is part of my 100-day creative project, “100 days of bad writing”. Inspired by what the journalist, Kiki Mordi, shared as the most meaningful writing advice she ever received — “bad writing is better than no writing”.
