Writing Posts is Hard and I'm Trying to Get Over It (Part 2/2)
Three points of reference got me pretty far, but I'm still sitting here staring at unfinished sentences for way too long. I have so much to say about everything! How paradoxical that the more I feel I could say, the less I'm able to put down. I just want to share my thoughts but in deliberating with myself how to do so, I end up not actually doing so!
I add a fourth tag, and things snap slightly more into focus. Four is structural, a stable two dimensional symmetry. With four, a reflection is accompanied by a shadow, and then a shadow reflection, diametrically opposing the original form. Four is two evolved, a satisfying extrapolation of an essential building block. Doubling... perhaps volume is the solution? To double my output would double my experience, and my comfort and confidence in expression. Making more posts will let me make more posts. The fear of misstep and failure prevents more success than the failure itself ever could.
"I think I've got it figured out, or at least closer," I think to myself, as I add the fifth and final tag.
Fifth. Final. Fitting, as five is considered a number of death. Two and three, the most essential forms, are added together in five, but equalized into a stasis rather than set in opposition. In another light, a death is a birth; the active becomes the passive, an immutable principle which predicates new existence.
To make a post is not just an end, it's the beginning of its exposure to other eyes. And just as adding more points of reference to my writing brings clarity, multiple eyes and perspectives on my words can provide direction, focus, and create a feedback that births more. The cycle completes itself, and begins anew.
