I don’t feel like I have that much to say via words these days. It’s not so much that I feel as if no one is listening, more so that I just can’t seem to commit to anything that I may want to say. I have this feeling that what I’ve written is in some way wrong, or may rub someone the wrong way, and so I tend to just erase it. To even write those words drives me nuts, as I’m not the type of person to stay quiet when I really feel strongly about something. Either way, though, this is why I haven’t been posting anything on this blog. It surprises even me that this has been an issue for five months.
Now that I’ve been spending a good bit of time at home the past few days, due to the current pandemic, I’ve tried to confront this as a way to keep busy. I finally decided that I’m going to just try and avoid words for a while. Don’t get me wrong, I secretly love being able to write, it just doesn’t come out well when it is as disjointed as all my past attempts (unpublished) have been. Trust me, flip through my notebook and you’ll get the bigger picture.
Instead, though, I’m going to embark on a photo diary. I’m going to try and post every day, or at least something FOR every day for the next year. I might post a few words here and there in regards to an image, or maybe a comment on something topical, but for the most part I just need to start documenting more, even if it’s just things that are important to me.
After this post, expect all the photo posts to be listed by number, starting with 001. If I post any other type of blog, then kind with mainly words and thoughts, you’ll know it by the title that doesn’t fit the numerical system.
I hope all is well with everyone in this time of global crisis. Know that my thoughts are with all of you. Stay healthy, stay safe, and take care.
