Blogging was a rage then, I used to check now and then
for the updates from fellow bloggers and it never disappointed me. Whenever I
refreshed the reading lists, there used to be new updates. Time has changed
since then, after almost a year or two break from blogging, looks like almost
all the bloggers I used to ardently follow left or are hardly active. So, I am
not only the one who lost touch with the world of blogging. Only couple of
posts from few bloggers surfaces on the reading list. I was curious enough to
check individual blogs hoping its some technical glitch and error with my
settings for no updates. Sadly, it is not as majority of them last updated a
year or two ago and few domain doesn’t even exist.
There is a strange ache of loss and longing for
wanting to see them writing again. Then, I realize moving on is the way of
life. We can never hold on to past and block the inevitable future or mess the
present. We must learn to accept the truth. Sooner, the better. What happened
to us? Did really living and responsibilities engulfed our passion? Reality
check; the work pressure, social and domestic responsibilities, family time and
at an end of a day, we hardly have a time to spare to write. We are exhausted,
aren’t we? The cycle plays on loop and blogging got sidelined. Well, that’s what
happened to me plus I didn’t have anything meaningful to write. Not worthy of
publishing even if I managed to scribble. Not that it makes sense now but I am
trying to do what gives me a joy. It has always been my escape and it always
will be, for that sole reason, I am reviving blogging.
People blog for different reasons and for me, it has
always been personal. I am kind of weird, I wouldn’t say half the things I
write. I expressed well through writing. If I have to say, words get clogged on
throat and feeble heart gave away. Not a vocal person but if I am given a
liberty to express in writing, I can go on and on, like Rachel Green of
F.R.I.E.N.D.S sitcom, can write 16 pages letter front and back.
Past couple of years after graduation have been roller
coaster ride both professionally and personally. I have shelved myself in and
cut all the ties from the world. I just wanted a lone time to figure and
understand the meaning of life. Quite a quest (laugh), am yet to get the answer
but I got redirected to path of enjoying the process of living. Getting too
philosophical? Yay, stop me but that’s the reason I am blogging, to share the
journey and learning from the life. Take anything that comes on your way, it teaches
us many valuable lessons. I am still a lost soul finding way back home but can
safely say that am better than the person I was yesterday. Each day, I am
trying best to be better version of myself. Hope I will rise above ground and I have
many things to learn. Being positive to be positive towards everything.
Writing is a haven for my soul, and blogging shelters
it.
