I could spend all day, week or month circling through ideas in my head. Without writing them down, they get lost in the constant banter going through my brain. Although they may seem scary to put down, and a lot of times my ideas change from putting them into writing and reflecting on those words, it’s a necessary hurdle to achieve further knowledge.
The only way to learn what my thoughts truly mean is by putting pen to pencil (or finger to keyboard) and penning ideas into being. Without this habit, I lose my path into thinking through possible ideas.
Without using writing as a habit, I wrap ideas into tighter circles never to explore their possible meaning. That’s why I’m back to writing. I need to jot my thoughts down and figure out what my brain is saying. It’s the easiest way I’ve found to keep exploring new ideas and keeping myself from circling through the same thoughts.
