I’ve spent the past few hours reading Ned Hepburn’s blog.

It’s fascinating. I often wish I could write just as he does. Sharing thoughts about everything and anything. Telling stories about random events. Effectively articlauting all the things we generally think about but find it difficult to convey in words.

He’s a writer with no inhibition, he doesn’t seem to second guess his thoughts and ramblings; everything’s as real and as purely authentic as the events might have occurred. It’s even more interesting because you can almost relate to all his stories, sometimes you feel like you were part of it.

I can’t imagine my experiences in life so far are anywhere close to being as interesting as his, but I feel like we all have stories to tell. The problem is we seem to be so unsure and unconfident to tell them. Maybe it’s a fear of being judged, and our seemingly innate pattern of second-guessing everything that happens to us; It might just be a personal thing, perhaps I’m just neurotic.

I’d like to tell stories. Yea, I’d really like to do that. I just don’t know how.

Oh, happy holidays.
