I Suck at Writing, But I Still Do It

Something that I have realized is how I am not able to write in a very coherent way. Sometimes I make sense and sometimes I don’t. I don’t really know how to tell a story in a way that is captivating and warrants another read or for it to be shared with others. It is something that I am working on though because I do like to sit at my computer, type, and give my opinion, perspective or just write out my ideas. It is something that gives me a lot of joy and a sense of accomplishment. I don’t do it for others necessarily, I do it to vent and to just get my ideas out of my head. There are way more of my ideas that I write down in my notes that no one ever sees because it is just for me. I just don’t want them to die in my mind so I end up writing them down and revisiting them later on when I have time. I may not be grammatically correct in these blogs; punctuation may be off and the flow of the writing may be off as well but I like to just listen to music and type out a blog because it is fun to me. Do you have to be good at something for you to enjoy doing it and to continue doing it? For me, the answer is no you don’t have to be good at something that you enjoy doing and no you don’t have to be good at it in order to continue doing it. Of course, others will disagree and say that you may want to find something else to do with your time. I don’t think you should though. If you enjoy doing it and it is not hurting anyone else, I say do it. Too many people think that because they are not good at something right away, they should just give up on it and they end up settling on something that they never wanted to do or end up doing something that they may be good at but they do not enjoy. I know plenty of people personally that are good at things and because they are good at it, they do it for a job but they do not even enjoy it. So again, I ask, do you have to be good at something and enjoy it in order to continue doing it? That is a question only you can answer for yourself. I answered my question and that is why I continue to do things that I may be terrible at but I enjoy them so I will continue to do them until I enjoy them no more.
