I miss writing.
Earlier this year, I made a promise to myself to take blogging seriously, to show up consistently, to pour out thoughts and stories like I always used to. And for a while, I did. But by mid-May, something shifted. I stopped.
Not because something bad happened. Not because life got too chaotic. I just… stopped feeling it.
There’s no elegant way to say it, but I blanked out. The passion faded, the words dried up, the ideas went quiet. And I disappeared. No goodbye, no explanation. Just silence.
That silence has been loud in my head ever since.
It’s hard to explain the kind of guilt and frustration that comes when your creative spark dims. I kept trying to force myself to write, to care, to show up again but nothing came. So I buried myself in work instead. And guess what? That didn’t help either. I’m drowning in it now. It feels like I’m gasping for air in a routine that doesn’t fill me.
Some days, I think a break helped. Other days, I feel like I’ve lost a part of myself.
Coming back now, after more than a month away, feels like starting over. But maybe I don’t need a total restart. Maybe I just need a little nudge. A reminder. A topic. An idea. A spark.
So, here I am, reaching out to you, my community. Can you help me find my way back to the words? What do you want me to write about? What stories are you curious to hear?
I’ve written about school before (oh, school… that’s another rant for another day). I finished my Master’s degree, thank God! But it wasn’t smooth. There’s so much I could say about that experience, especially for international students like me. Maybe I will. Maybe not. But I’ll definitely keep sharing.
This blog has always been personal, my stories, even when disguised as fiction, often come from lived experience. If you’ve been reading me, you already know me more than you think.
I’m not here to pretend. I’m here to reconnect. To write honestly again. To stop ghosting.
So tell me, what would you like to read from me? And how have you been while I was away? Let’s start again, together.
Thank you for sticking around. I’m grateful for you.

I went through a rough patch of writers block this year too so I can relate. I’d be happy to read anything you choose to share even if it’s a post about how your day was.
