I made a post about keeping things simple. I mentioned there that overthinking and complicating things don’t produce anything at all. I also suggested that things should be a simple process that’s so easy to do.

Yet here am I, disregarding all the things I wrote.

Originally, I planned to post stories in a set schedule about something where there was a significant turning point in my life.

However, there were problems. First, I don’t have stories to tell yet. Second, I haven’t wrote down anything yet. Third, I don’t have any ideas.

In the following week that I posted my work, I began to cook up a new story.

I had one, but when I was writing it down, it was so forced that it didn’t read right.

I became discouraged and never worked on it for days. I had another story and decided to write that one out as well. Maybe this time it won’t be a mess like the previous one.

Nope. I was wrong.

I was so frustrated at myself that I can’t keep up the with the quality of my last post.

Then it just dawned upon me that I haven’t made things simple at all.

I already had a format that was simple. It’s called “Short Thoughts”, yet I abandoned it when it was the one who got me into writing stories in the first place.

So, I tried revisiting some of them and see what I did and, honest to God, they were so simple that some of them only has single sentence on it.

At that point, I slapped myself in the face and trashed my posting schedule and just do what I did in the past. Which is to write something every day and post it regardless.

Yeah, it would fill the inbox of some people, but I don’t mind lol.

I need the momentum anyway.

Who knows? I might write stories that caused a significant change in my life in the schedule I originally had in mind when the momentum starts to kick in.

Welp, I don’t know, and I don’t care. I only need to focus on what I can today and not tomorrow, the following weeks, or next year.
