In the age of Pandemic, I can't help but feel the need to write in order to pass away the time. In an interview that I read recently, a famous writer talks about getting frequent bouts of 'writer's block' and the very inability to write, leads to further anxiety about writing, thus creating a vicious circle.

I am, to put it honestly suffering from a severe one. I haven't been able to write well for the past two years and this has led to a loss of confidence in my dealings with other topics. This is not to say that I am a writer, in fact I am a person who blogs occasionally, However, I have manged to keep this blog running for ten years and am actually quite surprised.

I have never been confident about my writing skills, thus one of the reasons that I feel that I continued with this blog was that I realized that no body was actually reading this, thus in a way the act of sending my thoughts in a written form into the void has helped.

There have been some humorous episodes and some annoying ones in my journey but what made me keep coming back to this blog has been the uncontrollable urge to write. I am aware that there will be times when I will sound stupid and ignorant, but this blog is a learning experience that I have decided I need, in order to be better at things in the real world.

It is my own private therapeutic outlet; only on an incredibly public forum, so I realize the irony, However it could be an interesting study of human nature. I actually read some of my posts from years ago and am amazed at my own naivete.

I hope that this may prove to be a record of my thoughts, my own Tilted view of looking at the world around me . Until the next one then........
