The First Thing That Gets Left Behind

In the last few days, life has kept me very busy both at work and at home. A lot has been happening, leaving me generally tired. Every time this happens, the first thing that gets left behind is writing.

Whatever I say or feel about writing, it remains a hobby for me. I need to find time for it. It does not come naturally to me. I can't get to writing if I am not in the right headspace. Being tired doesn't let me.

And the thing about hobbies is that they tend to get left behind while life happens.

I watched a movie today, and it had a dialogue, "We don't forget old hobbies just because we have some new ones." That reminded me how bad I have become at sticking to my hobbies.

Life will continue to happen. But if I am to live it, I can't let writing die.
