Yeah I know what you mean,
funny how similar the situation is here as well,
I'm surprised anyone likes my writing at all now

I think it has to do with perhaps becoming disconnected with yourself, or being unable to find the same things that inspired you once but not anymore. And sometimes, like in my case, you just don't know what happened. You want to blame it on the fact that you've become busy, or lazy, but sometimes the answer just isn't that simple, that easy...

by the way,
you said "non-undoable"
double negative :P

@syedanoor - 

hah, you're right that is a double negative. but if you read the blog, you'll notice I make up words as I need to, or feel the need to. As a rule, English is so beautifully flexible, it's a shame people aren't more creative with it. Also, originally I'd written un-undoable, and tho that sounded better, it seemed to be a technical impossibility, so I changed it to non. You'll notice that the word before it has the leftover "an" from the previously used vowel "u" from un. it would just have been safer if I'd written the sentence using "weren't" instead of "were". kthxbye. :)

Salam Saud,

Hope you're doing well there and I'm hoping that you'll finish your studies and eventually add MD to your name : )

@ your response to syedaanoor - I think you could have a fun conversation about linguistics with Professor Noam Chomsky.

@ your beautiful post - I doubt my mirror was ever as shiny and polished as the one that reflected this tree outside the window. Pray to al-Qaabid wal-Baasit. Perhaps you'll escape the same crevice we're both stuck in.

Wassalamualaykum, hoping to talk to you soon!

As long as it isn't broken, nothing a bit of vinegar and newspaper can't undo.

hey - you have the same name as my brother :)

it's strange, but you described quite accurately the same kind of 'writer's block' i am experiencing these days. i was going through an old folder and was genuinely shocked [in a good way] at the things i conjured up. which makes me wonder whether i have lost the ability to or whether i have stopped using that ability to carve something out of anything. nevertheless, it's nice to know i'm not the only one still struggling to rediscover the fresh mind that found beauty in all things.
