Good In Your Own Skin

"I never make the same mistake twice. I make it like five or six times, you know, just to be sure."

Yeah! I promised a friend to write something daily, but the usual me still took a day off. Well, that was a mistake, didn't mean it to be so. As it is, I am trying to get used to something I shy away from - Writing!

I know how much I admire people who have a streak of writing for stretch of days, and do wonder where they get those inspirations from. Whenever I grab a pen and pad or keys on screen, the very idea that motivated me disappears into thin air. Who knows? Perhaps I did not have any idea to start with and was just trying to imitate someone else.

I love learning and quite a fast one if interested, but things get really slow when it's time to pick from two or more choices. In a place like Hive where you'd find writers with quality and quantity, there's no doubt one would love to be like them. The mess I do face in this situation is that there's no one way to write. Everyone does it differently. So how should I write mine? Clause and pause.

Endowed with various traits and characters, we are bound to achieve things in varying ways. It's a good thought wanting to be like someone else. At least, everyone wants better things for themselves. The negative side that often comes with such want is that we often fail to invest in ourselves and hence walk away from doing better in our own little way.

We are indeed blessed differently and that's what make us who we are. A tortoise might be slow since it's carrying that load of a shell, but in the face of danger, it seeks protection from it. If it decides to imitate the fast hare by ditching it's shell, you know what's next...

I've made a choice to write down whatever I can in my own way. I feel happy reading through it even though it doesn't really makes sense. It's just me competing with myself.
