I don't have a blog post for today.
Iced vanilla latte to my right.
Coffee candle burning to my left (though it smells more like vanilla ice cream to me; proper dairy ice cream which you can only get from an ice cream parlour, creamy, rich, in a yellow-ish colour, speckled with brown dots).
Glasses on my nose, freshly cleaned lenses for a sharp vision.
The ideal writing setting.
But my brain has nothing to give.
I used to run a personal blog for about five years. I wrote about anything that came to my mind; about travel and life and books and my thoughts. There was always something to spill out on an empty canvas and paint a picture with colourful words.
But that was then and this is now; this blog is on a professional website, automatically deeming it less suitable for frilly outbursts or non-industry-related topics.
However, nine, ten months into a global pandemic and there is only so much I have to offer.
As I look into another grey day, wet and cold and dreary, I struggle to find the creativity to conjure up an idea, elaborate on it and shape it into something which I’m happy to share.
And so today, I don’t have a blog post.
Better luck next week.
