I Don’t Know What to Write

Dear Reader, writing this article meant a lot to me, and your support would mean even more. Medium allows you to give up to 50 claps for an article, so if this resonated with you, please don’t hesitate to give it all 50. Thank you so much for being here and for cheering me on!

I have no idea what to write.

Seriously, my brain feels like that awkward silence in a conversation where everyone’s just looking at each other, waiting for someone to say something clever.

Spoiler alert: I’m not that someone.

But here I am, typing anyway.

Showing up because, apparently, that’s what you’re supposed to do when you’re trying to be consistent.

Not because I have anything profound to say, but because sitting here doing nothing feels worse.

Maybe I’ll write something brilliant tomorrow, or maybe I won’t.

Right now, this is all I’ve got, me admitting that my head is as blank as a fresh sheet of paper.

And honestly, it’s kind of funny, isn’t it? All the pressure to create, and here I am writing about not knowing what to write.

This is me trying, imperfectly, awkwardly, and honestly.

Maybe this is a reminder that not every moment has to be groundbreaking or poetic.

Sometimes, it’s just about doing the thing, even when it feels hard or uninspired.

And if you’re reading this, maybe it’s a little nudge for you too: Show up, even when you feel blank.

Who knows what might unfold?

If you’re reading this, thanks for sticking with me.

I promise I’ll try to be less blank next time. Thank you.
