Just Do It

This is an excerpt from my first medium post on 20th May, 2022

I love to write

I recently had a friend of mine tell me “you don’t write like you talk”. She had just read a post from my WordPress blog and was having a hard time reconciling my written words with my spoken words. I totally understood her dilemma.

I have never been much of a good talker. I talk okay, but I can say anyone would understand something I wrote better than if I spoke it. It is the reason I miss those letter writing days. My sister and I have good memories of letters we wrote each other.

These days I always carry a small notebook with me. I scribble lots of my thoughts and ideas in them. You could also find a few scribbles on my phone as well. I have lots of them.

I thought it would be nice to share my thoughts and ideas and so I went ahead and got myself a WordPress page. I didn’t post a word until 11 months ago. Just like that, I woke up one day and decided; This is the day. It felt really good to see people read, like and also leave reviews. It made me happy.

Today WordPress sent me a 9th anniversary message. How does someone procrastinate for 8 years? I really wonder.

A piece of advice I gave myself:

“Mimi sometimes you don’t need to procrastinate, you don’t have to plan, you don’t have to rehearse… Just do it”.

  3. I’m not an articulate, on-the-spot talker. But, with a little time and a keyboard, I can seamlessly deliver my intentions by the written word, and it frees me. Nice to meet you! Looking forward to writing with you 🙂
