People believe they think clearly and just struggle to "put it into words." It's almost always backwards. The struggle to put it into words is the discovery that the thought wasn't clear yet.

Writing is the brutal honesty machine. It takes the warm fog in your head that felt like understanding and forces it onto a line where every gap shows. You didn't lose the clarity in translation, you never had it. The page just told you.

Additional quotes by Kpaxs

Starting hurts because starting exposes the gap between your taste and your skill. The gap between what you imagine and what you can currently make. The gap between who you want to be and who your habits have trained you to be.

This gap is humiliating, this is why so many people stay in theory.

Theory is safe. Research is safe. Planning is safe. Buying notebooks is safe. Watching tutorials is safe. Having opinions about people who are doing the thing is safe.

Close the gap.
