Back to Writing?

 I checked my old blog today.

Last entry was July 2015. That’s almost ten years ago. And the sad part? It wasn’t even something I wrote. Just an automated post from some IFTTT setup I did years ago. One of those “post your Facebook status here” type of things. No thought. No voice. Not really me.

And that kind of stung.

I started this blog with one reason in mind. To practice my English. I’ve always struggled with speaking it, especially when I really want to say something real. It’s like my thoughts come fast, but the words get stuck in translation. Sometimes, I just end up quiet.

But when I write, I feel like I can breathe.

I can slow down. I can think. I can finally say what I mean.

That’s what this blog was for. Not for claps, not for likes. Just a space where I can figure myself out one sentence at a time.

I don’t know why I stopped. Maybe life got loud. Or maybe I got too distracted to listen to myself. But reading through my old posts now, I remember why I started this in the first place. It was never about being perfect in grammar or sounding smart. It was about making sense of what’s inside.

So here I am again. Writing. After years of silence. Still awkward with my English, still thinking twice before hitting publish. But at least I’m here.

And maybe that’s a good enough place to begin again.
