Potential is Prettier than Production. And That Sucks….

i have a problem.

i have written so. many. amazing. blog posts.
well,

   the first few lines of so. many. [potentially] amazing. blog posts.

and once i’ve had the satisfaction of getting the idea’s nugget on paper,
i stop.

i think it’s because a promising idea has potential for greatness if it will remain an idea with a start.

but once i flesh it out and clothe it,

  i’m afraid it won’t be as good as i want it to be.

and yet, by not finishing anything, i don’t…finish anything. lasting satisfaction comes from producing great work. not the mere emission of its embryo.
