I don't believe in writer's block. I believe there are certain times we pass through when we must feel through what we need to feel through. In this case, some moments of our life are more fruitful than others and this is completely natural. Don't let productivity convince you that you're not worthy enough. Feel through these emotions and let them reveal to you what you need to understand.

Remove the word aspiring from your vocabulary. You write. You are a writer. Keep writing. Your voice is worthy. I want to read your book some day. Write the story only you can write and keep writing. I believe in you. Someday, you'll sign your book for me. I promise you this.

I'm not sure, but I feel it's working on me and will come out in due time as all pieces of art do.

I go out in nature. I talk to close friends. I listen to music. I contemplate the meaning of words and read good poetry.

A lot of events in my life inspired me to write Goodbye (Hello). The first, which comes to mind for me was the pandemic year and the notion of all our goodbyes. I spent some time considering how all my goodbyes, in one way or another, became hellos in disguise. I pondered how every passing led me to this moment of unfoldment in my life and how I'm never truly done as I continue to evolve spiritually on my journey.
