It's been a long time since I've taken the initiative to pen something down, it was so bad to the extent that my diary and journal have been starved of my daily entry.

I was so far from the writing world these past few months, I could not see myself as a writer any longer, I felt unworthy.

I was ashamed of how I was always receiving praise and kudos for my works when all of the time when I would think I'm meant to struggle to carve something out, it comes easy for me unlike other writers.

I began to sink in the lake of imposter syndrome.

And no one could save me other than myself.

I found myself on a relentless blame train for days. Every time I wrote, my work felt intangible and unworthy of sharing. Instead of setting it aside to revisit later, I chose to delete it, convinced it wasn’t good enough.

This went on and on and on, and I even fell into my old ways. I began to procrastinate, always using the excuse; “I'm tired from work,” which is partly true. But, this has been my vice not to take my pen and book to write about how the day went.

I even alienated God in this journey of imposter crisis. It seemed like I forgot to pray, I couldn’t even say a sentence, I would stammer for a few minutes and leave that atmosphere to go sleep or watch a movie.

Moreover, I was reading, I was feasting on fantastical stories, something to drive my attention away from something productive.

Wow, how far have I drowned?

I became extremely lazy to do what was innate, what I loved the most. I instead diverted my energy to work, looking forward to a meager salary that could not even cover twenty percent of my expenses.

Then, why did I start writing again?

Have I gotten it together?

Am I free from being a coward?

Am I ok with God? Is He still my priority?

The answers to the questions are far from me. But as I go through this path, as inspired by the Spirit, I look forward to my healing.
