Losing Words


It's getting harder each day to write. I don't think it's hard, particularly. I am more focused on introspection nowadays. Probably because I have started thinking outside of myself. Earlier it used to be just me and my life so it was easier to write. But as I am growing up, my mental capacities have expanded to include the people in my life and thinking more about them. So as I make sense of the new additions to my thought process, it has taken away from my ability to write about myself; or just write.

I really hope that I can resume writing. Of course, I have been dabbling in free verse Urdu poetry but that's not something I feel like I can take forward. I miss writing the way I used to. Writing used to be fun. Now, it's something that stays in my mind only to remind me of what I was. A good factor could be that I am not reading as much. I have attuned myself to think a lot about the visuals of my online existence. I think visuals carry a depth that can only be too deep. Calling it shallow would be doing injustice to the hard work and thought put into the imagery. Let's just say that I am looking for something deeper.

I hope I find it.
