Why Do You Write
A conflict within me to find a better version of me
I have longed and wanted to write for a long time. I want to express my thoughts. Most especially, I want to share stories with my readers, stories I encountered.
I believe these stories are unique and many of them need to be told.
I can list out many excuses why I didn't write. A part of me says I am focused on something else. I lay down on my sofa, saying, "Y,es Suraj, writing isn't your priority now."
A procrastinating version of me looks at the hundreds of drafts and says I can finish at any point in time.
A needy version of self tells me writing earns me nothing.
But overall, it has never been about my money. Of course, I want to earn through my stories, but there is something more.
Neither do I lack ideas at any point in time. So, why don't I write?
And the question is the same for you, why do you write? Or Why don't you?
Why waste your valuable time
Around the time, I asked myself, Why should readers read my stories? Why should they read my blogs?
