The present from Michelle V. contained a Laptop Computer!

Shoot! Today I found out I’m suffering from writer's block. A what?

Writer's block: a non-medical condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author is either unable to produce new work or experiences a creative slowdown

Big deal, you might think, then don't write. Well, it's not that simple because I took up a challenge and lost. The stakes were to write a blog, a specific blog.



In the past, I've written many blogs, sharing my life, thoughts, and feelings. I still cherish some of them, others not, because my values and standards have changed over the years, and I gained new insights.

What does it mean then, when the past catches up with you? And as a result: can you rebuild something, something that burned to the ground, that hurt you so much, almost destroyed you?
If you had asked me this before, the answer would have been simple: no, it’s not possible.
And yet I, no, we, cautiously started rebuilding. Why? I've learned there isn't an answer for everything. Sometimes it just happens; you take a step, and then another, and before you know it, you're on your way again, together.

Can I recover from blogger's block? Time will tell, but this is my first attempt.
Have I paid my debt with this? Certainly not, but it's a first cautious step into the water, testing the temperature. Do I like it? The answer is yes.
It invites to take another step, and another, deeper and deeper, until I'm submerged and can float again, letting my thoughts wander freely in an open space.

Who won the challenge, who is my ‘partner in crime’, you might wonder. I think you know; not much remains a secret in this crazy world 😉
