My head feels heavy today. I ask myself 'Did I sleep well?', in fact I over slept for 11 hours.
I notice my eyes are a bit swollen,'Did I cry last night?', yes there were few tears of laughter while watching 'Comedy Nights with Kapil'.
The weather outside has its impact on how I feel inside, today is a bright sunny day, which is quite rare. Yet I fell dull and gloomy.
Now I stare at the screen, I have so many thoughts running in my head, difficult to choose one.
I chose none.
Today heart wins over mind, so its all about feelings, no thoughts.
It's tricky, because what I am feeling is so real right now but I am not finding exact words to express them.'I really need to improve my vocabulary', I tell myself.
For me it's easy to write about my thoughts, but about my feelings, it's NOT !
Have you ever felt the same???
I also realize that over years, I have trained myself to think rationally and act accordingly.
When was the last time, I did something without thinking at all???
I smile, why ? Can't write about it here.
Then why write at all?
Why Blog?
I started blogging because I felt inspired reading others blog's.
I felt the desire to write and to be read.
I felt relieved about spreading a social message.
I felt excited when I could rewrite a tale with a twist.
I felt nervous while participating in contests.
I felt confident when my post got A WOW or a Tangy tuesday badge.
I felt stupid not knowing how to design my blogsite, home page, templates etc.
I felt sad the day I had no visitor's.
I felt noticed when my page view's increased.
I felt loved when I read the comments.
So many beautiful feelings in a short journey of just 34 days, what's in store for the days to come, I thought !
what a fight between thoughts and feelings, i have had those days.
ReplyDeleteapart from these .. it is still a learning platform for me .. well pointed things about why :) .. all the best for future !
ReplyDeleteThanks Ankur !
Deleteand you will feel you are growing when you are able to convert the feelings and the reason for smile into words, which readers can relate to it without considering them as personal feelings.
ReplyDeleteI hope that day comes soon ...

ReplyDeleteWhy blog? That's the question every blogger has I suppose. Didn't realise you've only been blogging for 34 days...such a newbie (and it makes me feel old!) I think as long as you write what you love, the comments and followers will come as they will see the passion in your posts. Happy blogging and hope you enjoy the journey!

DeleteThoughts (logical) help us to survive while feelings don’t; hence get less respect than thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIt’s very tough to write about feelings. But you have done in this post. That too well!
Thanks Saket :))
DeleteYa its very difficult to write about our inner most feelings,
but am gonna give it a shot !
Beautifully written Ananya. I can see you have manged to convey your feelings through your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI regularly have those days. Being an introvert, I don't always like to bare my feelings.
Thanks Kiran :))
