I’m writing to you today because…

Dear Blossom

I’m writing to you today because I’ve been wanting to write for so long, I’ve even started a few times…

Lately, it’s been so very difficult … it feels like I’m just writing in a vacuum. I start but don’t finish. I have ideas for blogs and stories and only follow up on a fraction of them, and complete only even tinier bits of those… Fragments of unfinished poems litter my notepads, and so much more stuff float around in my head…

As journaling has helped me in the past, I thought perhaps to pick it up again after this traumatic summer. And then probably translate those into published blogs. Even that first step hasn’t begun to happen. Apart from simply swimming around in my head.

So, today, just a few minutes ago, I thought to myself, why not write to Blossom, my imaginary friend? And I haven’t been able to come up with any reasonable reason not to write – straight from my heart to yours. So that is what I will do: this is my promise to you.

And to crank up the challenge to self even further, I’ve decided to do this daily for the next 30 days. What will I be sharing with you? Well, right now, I don’t know. When the time comes and I sit down to write, I will listen, and I will know just what it is I want to share – perhaps, even need to share.

So, this is just to put it out there. I look forward to sharing with you tomorrow.

Bye for now
Rita
