Writing blogs is, for me, like yapping away with someone. \u00a0It is storytelling. \u00a0It is sometimes recording of my own critical thinking, but more often than not, it is a good distraction from unwanted thoughts. \u00a0It had been procrastination.<\/p>\n
I just went through a phase where I needed to face those unwanted thoughts and do something about it. \u00a0I needed to prioritize the process of crawling through this phase and be done with it. \u00a0I had put off so many things in order to focus on the process, and I missed out a lot during that time… \u00a0That is why I didn’t blog for almost 14 months.<\/p>\n
But that phase is over. \u00a0I’m done with it. \u00a0I’m excited to get back to occasional blogging\u2014 this time as recreation, and not procrastination or distraction!<\/p>\n
