What's in the Drafts?
[ drafts , past , writing ]

Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™ve mentioned this in any of my posts or to people, but I have a ton of drafts Iā€™d like to publish. So here I am, talking about it one more time, but for the final time. I was recently checking my drafts, and it was overwhelming to see how the numbers have increased throughout the year. I remember back in the day, it was around 10 or 20, but now itā€™s over 250. The massive surge happened during 2021 and 2022. I donā€™t think thereā€™s any necessity to go back to any of them and write, so Iā€™ll leave them as they are.

For me, writing is a way to express what I feel and throw out what I donā€™t want to, and itā€™s more of a habit than a hobby. Itā€™s also spontaneous and reflective of my current state of mind, rather than a chore to be completed. Maybe thatā€™s why Iā€™m not interested in writing for the sake of writing; finishing those drafts would bore me to death. Itā€™s not that I canā€™t finish what I started, but when things are left alone for a longer period of time, they lose their sense and meaning, becoming irrelevant in the present context.

Each draft represents a moment in time, capturing my thoughts and emotions as they were. Revisiting them feels like trying to recreate a past that no longer holds the same significance. I donā€™t hold on to the past really well. I want to focus on different things now.
