Jump-started

It's July. Couple of unproductive months has passed. Gotta get back to my life, online and offline.

It's the stupid health problem that's been bothering me for years. Friends and colleagues would know by now that I am particularly vulnerable to climate change. I got sick every time. I am really sick of being sick.

Sickness is bad not just because you suffer from the symptoms of it, but it also wears you out and rids you of the very things that constitute life. You are forced to eat food that you don't like, you don't have the energy to entertain, to socialize. And in my case, I lost the drive to write. My brain was just drained during the period. No more crazy ideas. No more creativity. Just no more mood. To me, that's more painful than the most dreadful illness there is.

I am struggling to write this piece, but I hope doing so will revive myself. I know that if I don't start typing the first word, I won't have a chance to come back to this. I have a goal this year but I am afraid I may not be able to achieve it.

Gotta live on.

just want to say i enjoyed reading this little piece of writing. :)
Oh, and don't feel pressured/stressed about writers block. Sometimes a quote or a link can tell a lot to people around you how you're feeling. That's one of the many good things about a blog! add oil and stay well desmond gor gor!
