Motives

(From Unpublished draft December 2017)

My husband and I talked about how I used to write and express myself through writing. I am surprised to know that he reads my blog since I only write to put together the thoughts I want to organize and share with others. 

I am on a social media fast today that will extend for a week to be able to detox on daily musings. I used to post consistently, if not almost daily. There were times that I feel like my time is stolen from me spending my time posting instead of just enjoying the posts “reality”.

Makes me wonder on my motives on posting, then I realized that posting feeds my insecurity and hunger for self-validation. This should not be my ultimate goal, I was reminded. 

Now moving forward, I would like to be more accountable with my motives - because oftentimes we neglect the gravity of having pure thoughts and pure intentions that should reflect in our actions.

Speaking of pure motives, thoughts and actions - guards down, we could easily slip.
