Lately, I have been busy with a lot of things. I was busy doing work reports that I needed to comply with within an instant. I was busy thinking of all the things that I needed to prioritize and to do to make the best out of my time. My days were filled with productivity yet I still felt unproductive. Not to mention, I have a lot of things that I wanted to do such as unwinding in my comfort place, going to the cafe, going to the beach, and name a few. So many want in my heart but left unaccomplished because my priorities are not those things.

Moreover, I have noticed that due to the things that I did last week, I was not too active here on the platform. Instead of having a routine around here, I end up doing other stuff about work. With that, I felt guilty about not roaming around that much here. I'm guilty that I can't accomplish my daily reads and even post one article per day. I feel so exhausted most of the time that I just wanted to have some time to relax and to make the best out of my day by resting.

Just so you know, as much as I wanted to post here every day, I noticed that something's inside my mind; not in a positive way though. I feel like a block was stuck around the flow of my ideas that I am having a hard time coming up with something to write. I noticed that even how much I try to extract meaningful ideas from my mind or look for inspiration around, I just can't and I'm still finding the reason why.

As I tried reflecting on the pins and turns that I did in my life, I noticed how my busy life affected this way of my thinking. I noticed that my mind is being preoccupied with work stuff that no matter how much I wanted to write something great, I just can't. With my thorough search about this feeling that I'm experiencing, I realized that I'm having writer's block.

"What is writer's block?"

Writer's block is a condition wherein someone is having difficulty coming up with something to write. A condition wherein someone is having a hard time putting the ideas into words and coming up with a masterpiece.

I'm a frustrated writer, but I'm currently experiencing this thing. As much as I wanted to, I just can't. No matter how much I try it's just so hard.

Looking back, I also experienced this thing. I once tried writing on another platform, which was way back in 2016. Back then, things went great and the popping of ideas was so easy to put into words. I can write around 600-800 words in one sitting, and I can even expound the ideas that I have. I was once a frustrated beauty blogger and I posted articles about product reviews. Things went great, but in a snap, my glowing surrounding turned gloomy. The ambiance felt so different. I can't think of anything to write. Even though a product was so ready to be reviewed, I don't know where to start, I don't know to put a spot of ink on the blank paper that I have. In the end, I was on a hiatus in writing that time. And even though I have been on pause to writing, I still can't bring back the light that once dominated my heart. The flame that I once had was lost in vain. That's why right now, I don't want it to happen again.

To my supportive friends, I appreciate all of your support in my journey. I wish you the best.

I presume I'm having writer's block these days not because of the loss of motivation to continue, but because my mind is being preoccupied with a lot of things. That's why I thought of ways that might bring back my glow and return the things that I have for writing.

Ways to Be Fine and to Write Again

I already have things in mind that I think would work for me to be fine again. I believe that if I will do this again, I might ease this writer's block that I'm currently in.

Unwind

I believe that if I can unwind or go to the place where I will find serenity, my mind will surely be refreshed and I can write again; hopefully.

Rest

I've been feeling so exhausted these days. Maybe I need some time to relax and unload all the tiredness that I'm feeling.

Try

As much as possible, I will continue to write even if it's hard. I hope things will get better in no time.

Closing Thoughts

Indeed, it's so hard to have this writer's block thing. I hope things will get better in no time. I hope my mind will get refreshed again and things will be back to their normal state.

Sending my warmest gratitude to the following individuals who are so generous to me: @CryptoEd0 and @alicecalope and to everyone who shared their blessings to me. I appreciate you all.
