I have been having the hardest time deciding what to write about for this month’s post. It is continuing a trend that started last month, a trend I hope does not continue into next month. Most of my posts this year have been more on the serious and heavy side. I wanted to have a post or two that was a little lighter. However, I do not want to get into writing fluff pieces. I want what I write about to still be important, but I am finding it hard to write about the little things. Usually, as I am sure you have all noticed, I write about the big stuff. The thoughts going on inside my head, which is a scary place to be I will admit (I often feel in the midst of an existential crisis). Things that are bothering me or weighing heavily on me. Things I want to change personally and things I wish would change in the world.

It is easy for me to write about those kinds of topics because they come straight from the heart. I never outline a post; I sit down for an hour and write. I like to be honest and direct. It is easy to do when it is something you care about or are passionate about. I care about others deeply. Right now, I see so much ugly in the world, so much that needs fixing, and it is all I want to write about. It is all I can think about. I am worried about our future for so many reasons, and so, when I sit down to write, it is one of those reasons that I wish to write about.

But there are plenty of topics I can see myself writing about in addition to the heavy stuff. Sports, books, music, cures for headaches, ASMR, video games, and other topics are areas where I have a lot of knowledge. However, I am feeling a bit unmotivated to write about something so ‘mundane’ when there is so much else going on in the world that I feel is more important to talk about.

I do not want this blog to be all doom and gloom all the time, though. I am a pretty positive person and would love to share positive posts with you all. If there is anything you would like to see me write about, comment and let me know. If I get enough requests, I may switch to publishing a post twice a month instead of once. In the meantime, I will try to work through this feeling of indecisiveness and deliver quality writing and quality topics to you all.
