I Used to Write A Lot….

“I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.”
― Mitch Hedberg
I did, I swear. It was nuts. I was pumping out articles all the time. To tell you the truth, I still do. Will that stop? I guess it’s up to me? There’s this strange, deep fear that I possess. Soon the well shall run dry. Soon, all thoughts and ideas will be for not. No. That can’t be right…
It’s all a state of mind. I guess you could say I just don’t want it all left in the rearview. I don’t want a reminiscent moment. No! I’m here now. I’ve been here a while. I’m not trying to subject all this to memory. I’ve got more to offer. I’m gonna keep going. You can hang back and rest if you want to. You can quit. Shoot, I’ve done a fair amount of that in my life. I’m no better. I quit it all. “It’s too uncomfortable,” I would say. I found every reason to throw it all away. But this? Oof, I don’t know…
I’ve got something here. I reckon you do too. I know some of y’all are along for the ride with me here in this little Medium game. It’s fun. It keeps things interesting. I’ve got other things going on in my life, sure, but this is up there with the best of them, man. Believe that.
I just don’t want this to go away. This feeling of freshness and drive. It’s so damn satisfying. I know what it’s like without it. I hate that place. Maybe I lied to myself before and told myself it was a home, but I was dead wrong. DEAD WRONG. No, this here; this is where it’s at. If you’re in the same boat with me, I know you know what I’m talking about. You’ve got something here, damn it. I know you can feel it too. It’s this strange intuition that can’t even really be put into words sometimes. You possess something grand. Forget putting words on it. We don’t always need those. But here; this. We’ve got them. You’ve got a whole world out there waiting to be dug up. You keep at it. I think I will, too. Thanks for reading.
