As Joni Mitchell sang, ‘So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way..’ my life has sometimes been a similar form of rigmarole.
My biggest regret has been not blogging regularly. I started blogging when I was in the second year of college ( Hi there, 2009), Blogspot was a blogging hotspot then and I posted fairly frequently, and wrote about a wide array of topics, but as it happens, life got in the way.
I moved cities, did my post grad, joined the workforce and my writing grew less frequent. Writing for work took precedence and writing for self felt progressively difficult.
But like life’s many conundrums, I found my way back to writing during a work trip to a remote place, I was stationed for a month there and the grueling field trips during the day opened my eyes to the glaring inequities of life. I started writing again, this time on Quora and found a small audience too. I also created an account on WordPress and my first post here about a trek gone wrong was well- received.
So, that’s the one regret I have, but I believe in the power of second and maybe even third chances……
