So what?
Why do we insist on writing ourselves?
This question has given me great inspiration from Teacher Yichen @gengdaJ and Sac @Saccc_c—thank you both again here.
From an AI-Native perspective, I personally highly recommend everyone check out the insights from Teacher Yubo @lifesinger and Teacher Baoyu @dotey. I’ll put the insights I think are particularly well-written into separate posts in the comments for everyone’s reference~
Regarding this question, my favorite answer comes from One Bird After Another. The author writes it like this:
After finishing an essay or a poem, you immediately feel stunned by the beauty it presents, the insights it offers, or the glimpse it provides into the depths of the soul. In that instant, everything in the world fits together perfectly, or at least acquires meaning.
I think this is precisely the goal we have as writers (forgive my audacity):
To help others feel that sense of wonder and awe, to see the world from a fresh angle, to notice those unexpected things, those elements that burst into our cramped and narrow existence.
For me, writing is about bridging vast distances, creating a broader world.
Sometimes we not only produce garbage, but we write it excruciatingly slowly—but I think, even if we shamelessly squeeze out just one word, that’s fine.
Every word carries enough meaning. Respect every word you write, respect every minute you spend on creation in your life!
Problems are always everywhere, but a writer can’t make excuses.
Whether facing writing, facing readers, or facing ourselves, we must be honest.
Be honest in confronting the pain, transforming those ideas laced with pain into tangible, complete works, over and over, one bird after another until it’s done.
In this process, the love that wells up from the depths of our hearts is our secret weapon—it lets us discover joy again and again in the repetitive, dull, mundane routine, until we adapt to this solitude, adapt to this plainness, until we create true moments of stardust.
