It’s been a long time! I’ve been on an extended hiatus from writing, and honestly, I can’t believe it has already been around two years since I last posted a blog. Time flies so fast! A lot has happened since then, and I’ve missed the joy of putting my thoughts into words and sharing them with others.
Since I unfortunately forgot the credentials for my old account, I decided to start fresh with this new one. While it feels a bit strange to begin again, I’m also excited about this new chapter. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my love for writing and sharing my thoughts, stories, and experiences once more.
A few years ago, my laptop broke down due to its outdated system. No matter what I tried, I just couldn’t get it to work again. Since there was nothing much I could do to fix it at that time, I decided to shift my focus entirely to work and other responsibilities. Unfortunately, that also meant putting my passion for writing on hold.
But even though I wasn’t actively writing, I never really let go of it. I’ve saved so many ideas and drafts in my notes, hoping that one day, I’d finally have the chance to return to it. Writing has always been something I deeply enjoy, and I truly miss the feeling of putting my thoughts into words. Now, I’m finally ready to make that comeback and pick up where I left off.
I really missed being able to share my thoughts through writing. There were so many times when I would tell myself, One day, I’ll have the chance again to express everything that’s been on my mind. I kept holding on to the idea that I would eventually return to it, that I would once again find joy in putting my thoughts into words.
But as time passed, I slowly started to realize that writing no longer made me as happy as it used to. Somewhere along the way, I lost the passion and excitement I once had for it. I found myself struggling to come up with ideas, not because I had nothing to say, but because I was simply too exhausted, mentally and emotionally. So, I decided to step back for a while, to stop forcing myself to write when my heart was no longer in it.
As time passed, I slowly began to forget my passion for writing. My focus shifted entirely to work, especially after I was promoted to a team leader position in my work-from-home job. At first, I was excited about the role, thinking it would be a great opportunity for growth. However, the reality of it was far from what I had expected. The responsibilities were overwhelming, the workload was stressful, and to make matters worse, my boss’s right-hand person was incredibly toxic. Dealing with that kind of environment every day drained me both mentally and emotionally, and I found myself struggling to keep up.
Eventually, it all became too much to handle. I reached a point where I was constantly exhausted, unable to focus on anything else outside of work. Writing, the one thing that used to bring me so much joy, became a distant memory. And then, out of nowhere, I was removed from my position as a team leader without any clear explanation. It was unexpected, confusing, and frustrating. I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or upset, but one thing was certain, I was at a crossroads, unsure of what to do next.
And now, out of nowhere, I suddenly felt the urge to open my Google Keep. It was as if a little voice inside me was whispering, telling me to check it, though I couldn’t quite understand why. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what I was even looking for, but curiosity got the best of me.
As soon as I opened it, I was greeted by a flood of memories, old articles and blog posts I had written years ago. I saw pieces I had shared back when I was active on ReadCash and even some from when I was just starting here on Hive. It was like stepping into a time capsule of my past self, a version of me that was deeply passionate about writing.
And just like that, a familiar feeling washed over me. I realized how much I missed writing, the process of putting my thoughts into words, sharing my ideas, and connecting with others through my stories. It was something I had unknowingly pushed aside for so long, but in that moment, I knew that a part of me still longed for it.
So, I finally decided to write this. After much thought, I realized that I wanted to give writing another chance. I’m even considering making it a part of my daily routine while working since I’m now a freelancer and have more control over my time. It feels like the perfect opportunity to reconnect with something I once loved.
I also want to go back to where I first started, back to the platform where I took my first steps as a writer. There’s something nostalgic about revisiting those early days, remembering the excitement I felt when I first put my thoughts into words and shared them with others. I don’t know exactly why, but deep inside, my heart is telling me that this is what I truly want. No matter how much time has passed, writing still calls out to me, and this time, I’m ready to listen.
So here I am, officially making my return to writing. GyraG is back, and this time, I’m more determined than ever. Honestly, I’m okay with starting from scratch, even if it means going back to square one. I’ve come to realize that it’s not about the number of followers or the recognition, I just want to write.
It was Google Keep that made me realize how much I truly love writing. As I browsed through old notes, articles, and ideas I had saved, it brought back memories of why I started this journey in the first place. I had forgotten how passionate I was about putting my thoughts into words and sharing them with the world. Seeing those old pieces reminded me of the joy writing once brought me, and I realized I’ve missed it more than I realized.
In addition to writing, I also run a small crochet business. It’s something I’m really passionate about, and I’ve been taking orders from people who appreciate handmade, one-of-a-kind creations. Whether it’s crochet items like scarves, blankets, or accessories, I love the process of bringing these pieces to life.
It’s not just a business to me,it’s a way to express my creativity, and it brings me so much joy to see my work making a difference in people’s lives. Every piece I create carries a little bit of my heart and effort, and knowing that someone appreciates that makes it all the more rewarding. It’s become a fulfilling side venture that balances out my writing, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share both my words and my crochet creations with others.
So here I am, embracing this fresh start, and I’m ready to see where this new chapter takes me.
