Practice Makes Perfect

I’ve come to realise that I haven’t really been writing much, and I find it progressively harder to hold and develop thoughts in the written form.

It’s so true that practice makes perfect, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to write, even if it’s just a little bit. I think I’ve been too careful with my writing, so afraid of sounding stupid and being judged, and it’s only doing me more harm than good. My writing and the quality of thoughts expressed hasn’t improved much over the past 2 years, which really is a shame, given the amount of exposure I’ve had since starting my university days here in Essex. There is still so much to learn about life and the world, and about writing too. And so, I will write.

I liken this to recording myself performing a song, or practicing a speech in front of the mirror. I need to record my thoughts somewhere to evaluate them, and to develop them further. Plus, I hope that this will serve as a marker in my book of life, so I will no longer find myself flipping hard to find the page about life at a younger age.

If you happen to read this blog, I urge you not to judge, and to be patient with me. Help me with my thoughts, as you nurture yours too.

I hope my little thoughts will grow in maturity and understanding, and that ultimately they will move beyond the realm of ideas into making a positive difference in life as we know it.
