Word of the Week #319:
So I’m a pretty smart guy. You know that by now, right?
However, I sometimes feel like I am not able to fully utilise my intelligence, and a large part of it is the blink-and-miss nature of thoughts.
I’m not sure if it just happens with me or if it is a normal human thing, but so many of my best and brightest insights just enter my mind in a flash and then vanish the next moment without any value being created off it.
And that is just so disheartening, right?
It is like I’m playing a video game, and it’s an expansive open roam world with a broad story. And every time I play, I close the game without saving my progress.
That has got to be the worst possible way to approach character development in a game, right?
Imagine all the EXP I’m losing out on, all the advances and collectibles and perks I am squandering…
This was one of the reasons why I started writing, actually. I didn’t want my thoughts and ideas and—most importantly—my worlds to vanish into nothingness every time I stopped thinking about them.
But now, I think I want to expand this practice and be even more diligent about noting down all my thoughts and ideas.
Because let’s face it, my ideas are amazing. They are worth being recorded and stored for posterity.
