Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
I have a question for all of the veteran slicers. And by veteran I mean anyone who has done this for 2, 3, or more years.
Do you find that some of your posts are repeating the same topics from prior years? I was unaware that I had been doing this until my last post when I created a list of things to do on my spring break. Writing the post sparked a memory in my brain that I had done this before. I went back to my posts from last year and there was a post with the exact same topic and super similar sentiments. I actually found the way I wrote the post last year was better compared to the one I had just written. Since we are always writing in March I find that the things I have to write about each year can be quite similar. I was doing this without awareness but now that it is in the forefront of my mind I worry I won't be able to forget. I have confirmation that my life is boring and the same year after year. I am a creature of habit and I seldomly vere away from my routines. I do not want to go back and find other posts where I have done this. I think I will choose to stay ignorant and try to push it out of my mind. I will focus on the present even though it may be very similar to my past.

The answer to your question is yes. I tend to circle around the same topics year after year after year and already for 12 years like this. I also have certain formats that I keep returning to. At first it bothered me a bit. Now I accept that I write as I write, about the things that matter to me, and it's ok. Keep writing what surfaces on the day you write, whether it has been a slice before or not, it captures where you are right now.

This is my 4th year and I do find that similar topics surface in March. You're waiting for spring, the weather disappoints and then makes a comeback - it's a month of waiting I find. Certain ideas come to mind, and then I'm sure I've had those same ideas a year ago and the year before. I also don't want to confirm this, but will write on what I feel in the moment. Just think - it's almost April. Best to you.

Yes! I was somewhat surprised when I realized this!

Yes! I had this exact thought a few days ago. I figured the topic might be the same, but the perspective might be a bit different with the passing of time. At least I hope it isn't exactly the same. Like you, I didn't want to go back and check.
