Writing is not just about writing! It has more to do with prior thinking, clearing away the forced inputs of curated thoughts, and believing in the independence of the mind. Commonly, thinking pulls you from different directions, while experiencing the struggle of listening to them with your senses. You are forced to adhere to the essence of all that you touch with your senses.

When you get distracted by the existential struggle of thoughts and worry about the sanity of being involved with the proposed philosophies, the mind decides to rebel. It becomes difficult to escape this situation, and you fall behind; stagnating in the impasse created by the concocted theories. Senses weaned away from the inherent principles leads to stagnation. 

While all this is true, it becomes difficult to extricate the senses from the conventional type of thinking. It may be scary too, to deal with experiences which are extremely difficult to explain through your writing. Writing cannot merely surrender to the enforced ripples of life and lose its relevance in the confluence of chaos.

Interact with the world to erase your doubts, listen to the stories to become aware of the stories that are hiding within, join the chaos to adopt a sense of tranquillity. All this requires resilience, the ability to conquer the steep challenges and strong individual beliefs. You cannot be stuck in the objects of life and prepare the mind to start thinking in a new direction.

While retiring in solitude, you are closing your senses to the various inputs which are hovering around your life. The art of identifying the true characters of life is so often not spoken in a language but communicated with silence. Listen to it more keenly to interpret it in a pure way! Reasons come from such intense independent thinking and clarify the conundrum.

Don’t sit still with the ideals of borrowed interpretations and try to believe more on your observations. It is not a compromise to move away from them to find the meaning beyond the objects. Come forward with your stories and develop a confident language to give them a voice. It is not about coming closer to a conclusion but finding a way to clear away the inhibitions and hurdles.

While we are still unaware of the events that lead to this journey, it is a difficult task to relinquish everything to move back in time to pick up the clues. They may be everywhere but hidden from the senses. Writing is not time-consuming but adds an eternal value to this worldly concept of time. You find your true self in the exclusive reflections of life!

The idea of writing and presenting your story is the fact that you are not numbed by the outrageous claims of life, but willing to retrieve the original ideas that are coherent. Your senses harmonise with them! Stories exist everywhere; look for them at the most unlikely spaces, and you will be rewarded. It is time to move away from synthetic feelings and experience the reality not muddled with present biases.
