When There’s Nothing To Say

Writing can still resonate without making sense. Tonight, I don’t have anything to say.

I just want to sit silently on my couch, turn off my brain, sink into my cozy pajamas, eyes slowly fading shut, and meet my dreams around the corner.

I don’t have some “7 ways to do X” or “The best part of Y” post to write.

I don’t have camera tips or social media tricks or startup stories.

I don’t have some unique perspective or a different viewpoint on a common problem that will get a bunch of claps, retweets, comments, and shares.

I can’t tell you some harrowing story or political drama or self-help mantra.

I just can’t.

But I can still write.

Just because your thoughts don’t align with a content type, doesn’t mean you should hold them in.

Chances are, however confused or uncommon, irregular or unremarkable your mind may be at this moment, someone else out there is feeling that same way.

So do it—write what you’re thinking even if it doesn’t make sense.

Write the sounds around you. Write the smells. Write the touch.

Just write.
