Sometimes I find it difficult to write. Mainly because I always force myself to think psychologically and write down my thoughts like a poet. It’s fun, don’t get me wrong, but it becomes exhausting after some time.

I’m always forcing myself to be poetic and analytical. Unfortunately, I’m not a philosopher, nor am I a poet. Sometimes I enjoy simply writing about my day or what I’ve seen. The only thing that stops me is the fear of going unnoticed.

I dream of being a writer—there’s nothing else I’d rather do. To be a writer, doesn’t your work have to be seen? To be seen, doesn’t your work have to be interesting? I find myself questioning everything that I write. I’m always wondering if it’s intriguing enough to be read.

I become frustrated with myself when I can’t create a constant stream of masterpieces. Then I’ll go months without writing because I’ve lost my creativity; many call this feeling a ‘burnout’. I’m very familiar with burnouts.

 I don’t want to force myself to be creative. Is it really creativity if it doesn’t come naturally? I’m an artist, a writer. My art should come to me freely, not in chains. I wish to allow myself more freedom, time and space to stretch my wings. 

Art is art regardless of its nuance. What one person may find boring, the other may find interesting. So, 2026 will be the year I allow myself to write without forcing thought. I refuse to judge myself when I can’t think critically, and I refuse to put down the pen when I want to write about the mundane.

Writing is an art without boundaries.
