Starting again

I had left this title here in 2017, but I honestly can’t remember what I was starting again. But I think this is a very good tittle to still use, one way or another. I’m writing this on the 1st of August 2021.

Every day is a chance to start again. Every time I sit down at the computer to write, every time I pick up my phone, every opportunity I get, it’s a chance to do something new. That’s a real self help kinda line to say, but I think there’s a great truth to it. I don’t think that everyone can say that confidently but I think that as humans, we have to try to make a difference somehow.

I feel that starting again is something that a lot of people feel resistance against. It’s hard to start again, especially when everything is all weird. It’s hard, because we’re not okay with things changing often. But what if change is the constant? What if we can get used to things changing all the time?

I’m kidding, it’s never easy. It never gets easier. In fact, I find it harder and harder every time. At some point, you’d think that you’d be more comfortable making some tough decision better, or you’d be able to think quicker or something. But it’s really not easy. I say this, thinking about the amount of times I decided not to draw, because I keep thinking that it’s so hard to just get started.

I’ve prevented myself from trying to start again too often. And I think this time of blogging, especially spurred on with a sick keyboard, has given me a novelty kick in the butt. I feel so inspired to keep on going, to keep on starting again and again everyday, just because I can. I don’t really dislike this experience right now, but there are many other areas I wish I could just inspire myself to start again.

Maybe that’s for tomorrow’s Joel to find out, but today’s Joel is indeed very happy to write first. Maybe it’ll be drawing Joel again tomorrow, spurred on by a new pen, or a new brush, or new ink even.

Maybe tomorrow’s Joel will be one that starts anew with a person that I’ve been struggling to communicate with. Maybe it’ll be a project that I’ve been dragging my feet to start with. We’ll find out tomorrow.

Today’s Joel: Very Happy writing once again. Thankfully I can pull up old titles to help me get going.

Goodnight World.
