Maybe the lack of a topic to write about is an interesting topic?

May 24, 2026 by Adam Mazek

The title of this text is a quote from a post written in the past entitled “Sometimes I do not have enough mental resources to write something profound.”

I wrote the “Maybe the lack of a topic to write about is an interesting topic?” text on the 8th of December, 2025. While writing, I had a feeling that during the last days or even weeks, I did not have anything special to communicate. I have written many times that even if I do not have anything special to write, I usually try to write. I try to write for writing’s sake. Perhaps the lack of a topic to write about is, indeed, an interesting topic? Maybe someone could learn something from these kinds of writings? I hope so.

That’s why I keep writing, even though I don’t know what I want to say.

That’s the way it is. Also, I try to treat it as a form of mental exercise. While re-reading Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s letters (I first read them after 2013, and I started re-reading them a few months ago after over 10 years of a break), I noticed that I was practically always complaining that he did not have enough health, time, or mental resources to write. Still, he was always doing it. Even if he really struggled, he was still a very prolific writer. In these terms, I want to be like him (even though I would disagree with him politically, as both he and I know that Poles and Russians will always have totally opposite political aims and points of view.

What is good for us, Poles, will be bad for Russians – and the opposite).

To summarize this text, I want to state that I believe it is worth saying something aloud in writing rather than staying silent forever, waiting in vain for someone to write something about you. Also, I will add that even if you lack inspiration, my Dear Friend, write literally the flow of your thoughts straight into the virtual white sheet of paper. Believe me, the beginning is always the hardest. Write as if no one would ever read your texts. Do it for yourself.
