I have been trying to "get started writing" for months, it seems. I know that good artists write, and it would only be a positive thing to get my thoughts out of my head. I still just feel like I don't know how. There aren't enough rules for me! When do I write? Any time! Constantly! What do I write about? Literally everything that happens or that you're thinking! As a rule-follower, you can see why I'm finding it easy to be overwhelmed in this new endeavor.
But I am kind of done being a rule-follower. I plan too much. As my 27th birthday nears, I'm yearning for a real change. How many times have I planned changes and fall back into my old self? I don't know why but 27 feels like a perfect transition point. At 25 I was still too young and naive. With two more years under my belt (though not much objectively has changed) I'm finally well-equipped with the exact amount of self-knowledge I need. At 27, you can start letting go of who you WERE and focus on who you ARE. And since I haven't completely figured that out yet, I need to write. It's my only chance!
A week from today will mark a brand new way of thinking and existing in this world. I hope.
