Proud to Had Forgotten My Blog! Really?

Simple Thought and Comeback Post

    I had forgotten this blog for years, and I am proud of how forgetful I was. I feel like my forgetfulness in the past had given me enough time to find where to go with my writing. While I was away from here, forgetting my blog, I kept developing my writing outside.

   

Abandoned a Blog, Now coming back proud!

At the time, I was a high school kid wanting to be something, but didn’t understand what the something in my brain was like. I created a blog just to seem busy and look cool. After that, my reality had me saying goodbye since I was stuck with my cluelessness.

While I left my blog, I kept trying to figure out 4 things about my interest. I made a lot of question lists that helped me to know if I was seriously interested on literature, or just liking it without any intention to develop well. I don’t have all of those helpful questions, sadly, but here are four of them that I remember the most.

1.      What do I want to write? Novel / poetry / web content?

2.      What is my concern to write about and why?

3.      Why is writing important to me?

4.      How do I want people to know the message I deliver?

Over time, I have finally answered those questions myself. Now, I am proudly coming back with no blurry images about what I want to write about. No more cluelessness!

Of course I want to put poetry and novel in my first place, along with writing web contents after. I haven’t gotten enough confidence to write English novel, though. However, I have some English poems that are ready to be posted weekly!

After practicing for years, I have finally found myself in my writing. My concern is on things that are related to mental health and self development, so I choose adding a little bit of motivation to whatever I write. And writing becomes important as it expresses my unspoken thoughts.

About the message delivery in my forth question, I thought I would only express my ideas and thoughts in Indonesian. But, recently I changed my mind.  This year, I start to write in English too so my messages touch more hearts.

Well, we’re done with my clearer images haha. Back to my blogging thing!

This blog missed a lot of my beautiful moments. In 2021, when some local media massively wrote about how I published my 3 indonesian novels within only a year, I posted no article on that topic. By now, I still have no post about my books but who knows, who knows I can make it soon!

If y’all have known me as a writer (out of this blog), here I am now giving a floor to know The Forgetful Dhawy. And the good thing is, I don’t stop right there. Let me show the positive side of my forgetfulness!

Simple Thoughts on Forgetfulness

Before saying things are good or bad, I necessarily consider their context. In most situational context, forgetting is not something good. But, I am serious when I say proud to had forgotten my blog. In my blogging situation, forgetting had led me to see more things to prepare before creating post to share.

Forgetting my blog had made me organize myself as a writer and planner; so when I’m back here years later, I come with clear outlines of things to write. I come with enough maturity, awareness and carefulness to build presence through my writing tone and message delivery.

Imagine if I stayed here with zero maturity, wrote some random post without planning first, showed y’all nothing but a high school kid’s emotional unstabilities throughout my posts. Your eyes would surely roll, and your mind would blame yourselves for wasting time on my blog! I better be away for some period of time, rather than giving y’all the worst experience like that. I’m not joking at all!

With that being said, I ask whoever reading this to not questioning too much why a storm takes you out of your thing for sometime, and you restart them a little bit later. A distraction is not always stormy, we know that theory. Everything brings you positive meanings if you want to see.

Everything happens for a reason, and I’d say it’s 100% true. You never know if you receive guidance to clarity outside of your thing. You never know what the lights do to help you manifesting goals. You never know if a distraction you call "A Storm" would do good for your life; it possibly takes you back to your wanted path with a different you!
