Freewriting and Cycles in Life

The sun and moon will always rise and set

I missed the train, so now I’m sitting at the platform waiting for the next one. I decided to open my Medium app, as I had already cycled through Instagram, Facebook, email, etcetera, and I wasn’t in the mood to disconnect from social media.

A picture I took later that evening, almost a full moon in Sagittarius 🌝

The train came as I was writing that sentence, and so here I am again a few days later.

Today, I am writing from the balcony of an Airbnb in the South of France. Isn’t that crazy? The world is not fair, and I’m not being cynical. I didn’t do anything to deserve this.

I’m back here again because I want to practice writing more without needing to have a set plan. I don’t expect anyone to read it, even I might not ever look at it again. I hope, in time, I write better things so that I would never think about looking at it again. I would usually reserve this kind of writing for my diary, but today I feel like sharing it, and maybe someone will resonate with it.

I had an early night last night and, as a result, was able to get up early this morning. In fact, I woke up a whole hour before my alarm but dozed for another 45 minutes so that I wouldn’t crash later today.

Writing, I’ve realised, is a privilege. Many people in the world still can’t read or write or don’t…
