The Struggling Blogger

Don’t bother looking for nos. 1 to 7, there aren’t any.

Obviously, by the title alone, you know what kind of post this is – a blog filler. One that you post when you don’t have anything to post.

It’s like doing something, when you don’t know what to do… just to let time pass at least.

You’ve heard of writer’s block. This one isn’t about that.

A blog filler isn’t always borne out of the writer’s inability to come up with something worth reading… I have lots of ideas popping out of my head right now, quite frankly.

I am still not feeling well, in spite of what I’m posting in the comments here and in different blogs. That’s what I hate about me sometimes, the effect of anxiety takes so long to wear out. I’m having a hard time writing some serious stuffs now. I wasn’t even submitting anything on my other ‘writing’ job because I can’t write.

What a title! Did it catch your attention? I bet it did! If not, why did you reach this far? Honestly, it’s hard to start a topic especially when you don’t really have any idea in mind of what to write about. You feel that you need to express something. Something within is just raring to go out, it wants to escape, it wants to be heard, to be seen, to be read, TO BE SOMETHING! You know it, you can feel it, but you just can’t put a finger on it. Really now, is this really something worth writing? And afterward, something worth reading? I really don’t know. It doesn’t really make sense, does it? Well, sometimes life doesn’t really make sense.
