Writing Again

I always wanted to be a writer. I started a writing a bit with this blog in 2004, but wasn't disciplined or consistent with the practice. Recently, I have wanted to start writing again, but I felt it was "too soon". The stories I have don't have lessons learned. I still don't feel the cosmic understanding of why things happened to me the way they did. I do not have any words of wisdom to impart, no advice worth giving.


Then I thought: is there room in the writing space for my stories that were just... shitty experiences? Or does the story need to end with my enlightenment that I then pass on to the reader?

Is there a place for my voice, cynical but happy but broken but funny?  

Am I allowed to write my stories, express the outcome, and then in a few years look back and realize I was way off, completely wrong, and life wasn't done yanking me around yet?

We will find out. Because my writing has once more begun.

Atomic Habits Bullet Points

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
