I just wanted to write something
Does everything I write needs to be inspirational, make sense and be sellable to the masses. Or, can I just write something for myself and publish it, without a care in the world, if it would be read by even a single soul out there.Ā

I want to not care, but I care
It is one thing to say that I don't care if people read what I write or not. But, the reality is, when the metrics arrive, when those numbers go up, when people like, save and do all that nice stuff, a part of me feels good.

The idea is...to be free of that care
To not care isn't nihilism. Nihilists too do care about not caring. To absolutely not care is the ultimate goal. To be free from the attachment of things that aren't in our control. And be in absolute control of our own thoughts and emotions is the ultimate end of all suffering and pain.

So yes....I can just write anything!
If I write not for it to be read by "You", but I write for "I love writing". I shall become a better writer. Not that I wasn't always a better writer, but when I don't expect my writings to win accolades, I write with clarity, and when I write with clarity, I write me...and me is the best writer I know!
