A Message from the Subconscious

Hello guys! And by ‘guys’, I meant my 3 loyal followers – me, my girlfriend, and my dog. Except that I don’t have a dog. Anyway, it’s been a couple of years since I posted my last entry on this blog. What happened? Well, let’s just say, life happened. The last few years hadn’t exactly been easy. In such a relatively short period of time, numerous things have happened. And no, I’m not married yet.

So, what have I been up to?

For one, I’m still writing. But not for personal consumption – as much I’d want to. I had been part of an agency which listed me as their primary commodity. No, not prostitution. I’m sexier than that. But very similar – except that it’s more cutthroat and exciting. It’s an online marketing company. I was there for a year, decided to leave, formed my own, and here I am – unable to breathe with mountainous work piled up to my neck.

But where’s the fun in that, you might ask. Well, there’s absolutely no fun in that. At least not yet. I’m still struggling to remain afloat and thrive in an industry that puts a premium on your portfolio rather than what you can actually put on the table. “Show me your previous work first, and I’ll decide if you’re worth listening to.” Yup, that.

Oh, and I’ve been traveling. Not because I choose to, but I had to. I take vacations here and there, but it's work for the most part. So.

At present, I have a long list of To-Do (about 39 items in there. Oh wait, I just struck down one of them: Check Blog). I should’ve already started working by now. But you know what, I missed writing for myself. I have been writing for other people, for their businesses, for their clients; but I haven’t really sat down and hammered away on what I really want to write about. So here I am.

In a nutshell, this post feels like therapy to me. It’s so liberating to be able to spontaneously pour all your thoughts into sentences and paragraphs without any fear of being skinned alive by your proofreader and by the clients. I’m sure you already noticed by now, but this post is littered with all sort of grammatical errors that I myself would cringe when I read this back. But I won’t, and damn it, I’m publishing this.

My fingers have never left the keyboard, by the way. Non-stop typing – no instance of pausing to mull over what I just wrote. But it feels so damn good.

Until the next post (whenever that may be). Have an awesome life everyone!
