Held back by my ideas

I think I'm held back my ideas. I have a 5 drafts of blog posts I'm currently writing on this platform, or that I want to write. I have many of them on other topics that I keep coming up with. I think I have to do them in order, or... something happens. I'm not sure what, but it's bad. 

Well, fuck that. This is meant to be fun. This is meant to be the space where I can play and write whatever it is that comes to my mind, whatever I find to be interesting. So that's what it's going to be. Today, I'm considering scrapping all the ideas I have written down all over the place. I never go back to them. Holding onto them is a form of fear. I'm afraid I won't have ideas I like better in the future. But I always do. That's why I don't go back to them. I don't like them as much as when I thought them. Having them just weighs me down.

I would rather place trust in myself, in whatever it is that comes up with ideas and hands them to me. I want to trust they will keep coming, that the next one will be better than the last. And if there is one that sticks, that keeps coming back to me, I will write that one.

I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning heavily in that direction. What do you think?
