This blog was silent for three long years.
Not because I forgot about it — but because something inside me had gone quiet. The words that once poured out effortlessly had dried up. The domain name? I let it expire. All those years of devouring mythology and spiritual texts… all those reflections… hushed into oblivion.
The writer within me wasn’t dead. He was just…, well – lost.
I kept receiving emails from readers — “Why aren’t you writing?” — and I had no answer. I simply couldn’t.
And then — today — something cracked open.
I left a job I’d been at for four years. And right before walking away, I had a raw, unscripted conversation with a co-worker. A simple moment. But the core of it? “Empathy”
It stirred something, I realised – what is it that I am becoming by giving up something which I enjoyed so much at some point? Who am I becoming by giving up? Nobody.
So here I am. Writing again.
What changed?
Life doesn’t just hand you lemons — sometimes it throws full-blown garbage trucks at you. Again and again. There are days that suck the light out of you. Days you feel invisible. Unseen. Unheard. Days you wonder if you are “alive” at all.
But sometimes… just sometimes… life also hands you a flicker of hope.
A reason to start over.
You can’t change the direction of the wind. But you can adjust your sails.
So I did.
I renewed the domain today, and worked to bring the site back. I don’t know how often I’ll write. But today — this post — is for that co-worker who unknowingly breathed life back into a part of me I thought I’d lost.
And in this quiet reawakening, I learned two things:
- Never judge someone too early and too soon. People carry stories that don’t always show up on their faces.
- An ounce of inspiration is stronger than a pound of bitterness.
A new start, but a start nonetheless!
