How to Write When You Don’t Know What to Say

And Why the Page Will Always Wait for You

the blank pages wait for you

There are days when you sit down to write and nothing comes. Not a word. Not a sentence. Just a blank page staring back.

If that’s you, take a breath—you’re not alone.

Sometimes life feels too loud. Sometimes our emotions are tangled in ways we can’t yet name. And sometimes, it’s fear—fear that what we say won’t be good enough, deep enough, or worth saying at all.

But here’s the truth I’ve learned: You don’t need the perfect words. You just need to begin. Write what’s in front of you. Write what’s in your heart. Write anything—even if it’s “I don’t know what to say.”

Because the page doesn’t need perfection. It needs presence. And it will hold whatever you give it.

💫 A Reiki Moment

When expression feels blocked, it’s often your throat chakra asking to be heard. Writing is one of the most healing ways to open this energy gently and without pressure.

Place your hand over your throat and take a slow, full breath. Imagine a soft blue light glowing with each inhale. Say to yourself: “My voice matters. My words are worthy.”

Even if all you write is a whisper—it’s enough.

📝 Words of Encouragement

Your truth is not too much. Your feelings are not too messy. Your silence isn’t failure—it’s a pause. And even that can hold beauty.

You don’t have to shout to be heard. You don’t have to explain everything. You just have to be honest with yourself—and that starts by showing up on the page.

So, in this quiet moment, I offer a gentle nudge: Write. Even if it’s unsure. Even if it’s slow. Even if it’s small. This small act is a loud declaration that says, “I am here.”

And for anyone who needs to hear this today: You are allowed to be fully, freely, yourself.

In writing. In love. In life.

Always.

✨ Put It Into Practice

🖊️ Prompt: Right now, I feel...Just start there.

Keep your pen moving for 10–15 minutes without stopping. Don’t overthink. Don’t judge. Let it be messy, quiet, raw, honest—whatever you need it to be.
