I’ll write about it.

Every time I get my heart broken, I tell myself, “Maybe I should write about it”. Get my feelings laid out on every blank page of my journal. See what I am missing. Tell myself what I need to hear. But then I wake up a few mornings later, having cried, having dealt, having learnt, having felt and I never write about it.

Every time I make a mistake, I tell myself, “I should write about it”. I really should. It’s a great lesson. Knowing me, there’s a strong chance I make this mistake again. Someone should read it back to me. Loud and clear. Maybe then I’ll know that I know better. But then I move on to making new mistakes and I never write about it.

Every time I hit a road block. I tell myself, “I’ll just write about it”. That might give me some new perspective. Maybe I’ll see something that’s been in plain sight. That’ll help me undo whatever it is that’s stopping me from being who I imagine myself to be. But then I find inspiration in mamma’s food, a new book, a song I’ve been humming wrong the whole time, and I never write about it.

Every time I wake up feeling unlike myself, I tell myself, “I’ll just write about it”. People change, people learn, people unlearn, I am people. I must be growing up. Or maybe it’s just indigestion from dinner last night. Maybe if I write about it, I’ll know how I actually feel. Maybe writing about it could be a dialogue between who I am and who I want to be. Maybe writing could be whatever magic software application it is that they use to mirror office computers on their laptops while they work from home. But then I meet a new kind of me, I end up liking her more than I had imagined and I never write about it.

Every time I tell myself that I’ll just write about it, I never do. I never write about it. I wonder how things would be if I had written about them. Would I deal with the heartbreak better? Would I make lesser mistakes? Would I evade creative roadblocks altogether? Would I have a hundred percent grip over myself? I don’t know.

But when I know, maybe I’ll write about it.

      You are always an inspiration to me. Can’t define how much I have learnt from you. You’ve written this beautifully and i can relate to every single word. Really hoping to meet you one day. So wanted to be like you. Love you P!!!!

      It’s very relatable. It feels like it was written in my mind as I knew it but because I couldn’t tell it, I feel very relatable to me. thank you so much prajakta❤️

    Thank you P… I most often search someone to share, someone who won’t judge me for my wrong and maybe I should write it. To know myself better.

    I am writing whatever I feel in my diary , like whatever you want to write in your journal. I don’t know writing it down made me good person or not, make do lesser mistakes or not, preparing me for heartbreaks or not … But I definitely know reading that again is different level of sukoon .., you will be very happy and relax reading that. For a sake of happiness you should write it.

    This is so me. I was just thinking today about writing and sharing it with the world because that makes me ME. Should I consider this a sign and go for it!?

    It’s like you wrote my mind ,Every time I tell myself to write about it , my mind takes a u-turn and goes to rest thinking that the thoughts which I am feeling will be relevant and will be vanished by tomorrow, but writing brings you more closer to yourself and the thoughts are relevant and meaningful so please write 💜 eeeee I loved it 😬

    You hit the same point I am dealing right now. Yes sometimes I think to write about it and then I never write about it.

    And and the way you expressed was so much sukoon yaar.
    Today I was a bit anxious but now I think I m ok.
    Thank you.

    Very relatable…Loved it P…!!♥️♥️ I can hear you speaking those words..it felt like our Tuesday talks..Please do publish more..!! #lovelove ♥️

    As long as you write from your heart, it will always come out wonderfully, just like this one. So just write and kick that nervousness away. People who can hear your thoughts will always be there, those who can’t hear..shouldn’t really matter. So go gurl! Take that keypad by the balls and just write it out..no thinking only doing…simple! 🤟

  14. Shivani

    Loads of love to you👍❤️

    I am one of those people who writes things down..or atleast tries to. I wouldn’t categorise myself as someone who writes diaries but I do write sometimes. And when once in a while I read them, I know one thing. That I am a better version of myself today and the reason for that is my past. Also reading it gives me a sense of strength and hope, that when I felt it was going to be tough and probably the worst day of my life, I still made it through. So if I faced it at that time, then I can definitely face whatever is going on right now too.
