writer's block!

A blank page is the scariest thing for a writer. The potential of that page can scare the living daylights out of anybody. Ideas are scary things too. You believe that there is so much you want to communicate, to tell. To teach, to show, to relive, to vent, to explain, to entertain, to give respect, to show love.

There's so much to talk about, to write about. Emotions under a skin thin surface wait to make themselves known.

What does hold the author back? Fear again. Fear that people don't want to hear you out, that people don't care. Fear of being misunderstood, fear of misinterpretation. Fear is a funny thing, that it can be as much of a motivating factor as that of a constraining one.

I am scared of writing again. After so long. I worry too much. Yet I am scared that the little that I have to tell, the small things that I think are worth other people's attention and opinion, will remain forever inside.

I will change with time, my perspectives and ideas will change. But the feelings I have right now, the truth I sense right now, I don't want it to be lost just because I couldn't communicate it.

Here's to overcoming fear, and celebrating thoughts! In other words, 'I'm back!' for better or worse.
