July 12th, 2021? You might be wondering! What about it? Another heartbreak story? What’s the deal?

To be frank, If I were in your position, I too would be wondering and curious… but really, there’s nothing to wonder about. If you have a look at my published articles on my profile you will get the gist. My last story, ‘Who Am I?” was published on July 12th, 2021. Do you get it? And can you imagine that?

It’s been a whole year and a half without a single piece of writing on this blog. That sucks! If you ask me.

I created this blog out of inspiration, and, from the get go, the intention was to write and publish consistently, — sharing about my daily musings and the things that interest me or things that I more or less care about.

But as of late, as you may have noticed, I have been in absentia and seemingly went ghost for quite a while now…And honestly, it’s not like I didn’t want to write anything down. My spirit and vigor can bear me witness and testify how much I have been striving to write down something substantial or even about the most trivial happenings of my daily life, but, unseemly and uneasily, I just couldn’t find the right words for it and worse off, the motivation and inspiration to write.

Perhaps, I might have been going through some sort of a creative block — A phase or a condition where one lacks the ability and the creativity to generate or produce new ideas or work… It could be, and, obviously, I went down that dreary path commonly labeled as, ‘writer’s block’…

Nonetheless, here I am, once again, still trying to write and make sense and meaning out of this blog thing.

Henceforth, I hope to become more active and consistent with the writing. There’s quite a lot I would love to write about and share, and, slowly but steadily, I’m getting a hold of my grip to write with intent and honesty like in the beginning, when it all began!

Dearest reader, if you are reading this, thank you so much for your support. Sparing your time to read this isn’t something I take for granted. I highly appreciate your effort.

My hope is that you will find this blog interesting and engaging!

Take care and be safe out there!
