5 Things I need to do for myself

I started writing when I was 18 because I needed an escape. I used to write about random things, without having a thought on, “What would people say?” Today, I have this huge writer’s block because all I can think of is, “What would people say?”


Recently during my therapy, I was made to realise that I am thinking a lot about people. I do everything that I think, people would expect out of me. I have these unrealistic expectations from myself, wherein I cannot afford to be wrong. It is not possible for me to not make mistakes, I will make them. I just need to be accepting of it and move on.


Here are 5 things that Ashmita wants:


1. I want to learn a craft – pottery or candle making.


2. I want to start reading fiction, again.


3. I want to start writing romantic-erotic stories, again.


4. I want to be comfortable and confident while telling people, how they have hurt me.


5. I want to keep my work, only during the working hours and be able to not take the work stress after the 9-hour shift.


I don’t know, if I would be able to do these, but taking the first step of listing them down, is a great deal.
