I Never Push Myself

I never push myself. Never have. I never strive. I don't know why? (I've always got things too easily?) I'm lazy? My father used to say so. I'm happy to do nothing, in fact I am good at it. The thing I do best. The upside is that I never get bored.

Sam's mother asked if I am just sitting there. She's a hard worker, running small businesses. I'm not sure I loved the implication.

I don't think I have any discernible talent. 

David told me he disagreed. "You are a very talented writer." 

I'm not really sure that I agreed. Yeah, sure, I can string a sentence together, but, actually, getting completed project/stories done, I am not so sure. Published and out into the world. No.

(I guess this is the point where you all agree with David.)

"No, no, you are a great writer."

(To snap me out of my pity party)

😬

Mark always said, "Unless you publish your writing what is the point?"

Well, you know, I get his point, what he says is kind of true, sure, it should be read by people for it to be useful, but just because it isn't published doesn't mean it shouldn't be written.
