Contentment

I'm sitting in front of the computer, and....I have nothing to write about.

Is that a bad thing? For a writer, that's a very big yes. It could be a sign that you're losing all your creative potential. Your writing abilities are seeping away from you. In a week's time you'll be English-illiterate. And BOOM, that's the end of your writing career for you. Time to dig a grave for your pens and pencils.

Okay, maybe that's gone a little too far. But what if I go back to the very basis of blogs and online posts?

Most people write blogs or online posts for one of the below reasons:

1. Something really bad or depressing has happened in your life. 
2. Something really good or cheering has happened in your life.
3. Something really inspiring caught your eye and you're dying to share it with the world.
4. You're bored.

So if I can't find anything to write, that would make me...none of the above. I'm not sad, happy, inspired or bored. That makes me...content.

Does it make sense? Yes.

If you're content with your life, then you're not devastated or in the throes of depression, so that's good. If you're content with your life, you aren't ecstatically happy, but life's still not too shabby for you. You may not be as inspired as others, but life goes on all the same. And at least you don't have boredom nagging at your heels.

Oh, and I've ended up with something to write about after all. Who knew being content could churn out a blog post? 

I guess I know now.
