Today, I'm Writing Something, Anything.
I think about a life of daily writing.
Especially, writing a piece every day without a deadline is quite a difficult task. Looking back at why I failed countless times over the past few years, despite vowing to write consistently after writing sporadically, it’s clear. It might have been the grand plans I made, driven by ambition and desire. It could also have been my subtle perfectionist and reclusive tendencies. Honestly, instead of finding these excuses, it would have been better to just take even small actions.
Because of my weak habits, I tend to obsess over assigning meaning to things. In that sense, this year, as my age’s first digit changes, I want to more boldly dedicate my time and effort to what I love. From the day I made that decision, I started my own small creative project called #1일1꾸준. Regardless of length or genre, I’ve been consistently writing one piece a day and posting it on social media. As of today, it’s already been 77 days. I’m very proud that I’ve made daily writing a routine in my life. I mostly write short, emotional pieces in the form of poetry, but going forward, I want to write longer, easily readable essays that also warm the heart. Above all, I hope my writing becomes something people want to keep reading.
I watched
There are so many people who live truly diligently and wonderfully.
Of course, their everyday lives probably aren’t as bright and sparkling as they appear on TV.
I suddenly realize that every single day can’t always sparkle, and there’s no need for it to.
The most important thing is to quietly and consistently move forward in the direction I’ve set,
and not lose sight of the fact that this process itself is my most sparkling moment.
That’s why today, I’m writing something, anything.
