Maybe you’ve asked yourself:
“When will this heavy chapter of my life finally end?”
“When will I discover a happier version of myself?”
“When will I meet the right partner or friend?”
When, when, and when…

Exhausting, right?

From my own experience, I’ve realized that “when” is not the right question. Instead of asking when, it’s far more reasonable to ask “why”.

Why do I feel like life is so heavy?
Why do I feel the need to meet the right person?

Once we uncover the why, we can take the next step — asking how.
How can I handle this?
How can I start?

Of course, it feels long and slow. And yes, the process takes time. Sometimes, we have to start from zero — with nothing but our own confusion. But I’ve found that not knowing is actually a blessing — it sparks curiosity. As simple as searching on Google or asking AI for answers. That tiny action already moves us forward. Even if progress is only 0.00000001%, it’s still progress. Better than staying stuck in the endless cycle of asking when.

That’s exactly what happened to me. I’ve always loved writing, but my mind used to spin around the same questions: When will I start writing? When will I be as good as those who already paint beautifully on their canvas?

Eventually, I decided to erase the word “when” from my head. I stopped overthinking the 5W + 1H. Instead, I followed my intrusive thoughts without hesitation.

And just like that — tadaaa! I started writing right after a workout, without planning anything. Sometimes, all we need is that sudden spark, and we just do it. Sometimes following your random intrusive thought is the perfect time to start.

So I just go with the flow. I don’t care if the result is imperfect. I don’t worry about structure or style. I simply pour my thoughts into words, into sentences — and before I know it, a story is born.

And here it is.

Happy weekend ✨
