Erin does it again.
I’ve often marvelled how she can be so eloquent and “spot on” with how she writes. In this age of social media where people just “scan” stuff (myself included), here she is, writing a ton and I’ll be drawn and glued to the words – drinking them in, absorbing them. I’ve always told friends I’d like to be her when I grow up, or I’d like to be doing what she is doing when I have time – write everyday.
And then this.
It’s like a gentle slap on the wrist, you know. Or like a Mom going down at eye level with her child to gently explain to him that he needs to brush his teeth before going to bed.
Kind. Firm.
I have time to watch Kdramas.
I have time to play Candy Crush.
I have time to scroll endless social media feeds.
But write?
Exercise?
It reminds me I am halfway through Greg McKeown’s book, Essentialism, and it has forced me to face some hard truths about how I’ve been living the past few months (actually, years).
So here I am. Choosing to do what is essential.
This time, I can. I will not try. I will do.
