Just Writing

I wanted this post today to be a return to form of sorts for my writing, to find a topic on my mind to discuss and delve into all the things my mind has to say about it. If I'm honest, I find it difficult now as I sit down and scribe these thoughts so, I've decided to do things differently. I've chosen just to write what I think and feel at this very moment and maybe through understanding my perspective on things at present, the conclusion I come to may even be able to help others sort through all the miscellaneous thoughts and feeling they have as well.

Writing for me has always felt like a release, a way in which I find peace in times when my mind seems at its most turbulent or when the things around me are. Getting the ideas out that I want to in a constructive way to compile, organize and vent things in a constructive way that, after it is all said and done, I can look back on and understand what I went through and maybe get some incite and clarity to help with the next obstacle life may throw in my path. I've spent a considerable amount of time doing this and my writing doesn't always make the front page of my blog, or any page at all for that matter because it doesn't always need to. Sometimes it's for the benefit of release and not meant for the consumption of others so I find a way to discard it after I've said what I needed to. I believe that's part of the reason why I feel so good after it's all said and done. I got the opportunity to say what I needed to and now that those thoughts are outside of my brain and I've taken the time to read and understand them I can learn from them and let them go to ease the stress that holding them in can have on me. It can seem like a daunting task to organize and articulate one's thoughts effectively but, when it's done and those thoughts have been placed on the page, you process them, and decide whether to keep, share, destroy, or continue them you can do so knowing that, if even for a brief moment, I've been able to achieve that peace of mind I desired when I chose to write it all down.

This is the result of one of those sessions for me and I believe it was exactly what I needed and why I started writing in the first place. Try to write down your thoughts and decide the best way for you to learn and grow from them. They may not always make a ton of sense or even be completely coherent at times but, as long as you say all that you truly need to and get those thoughts out you may be able to better understand how and what you feel and process it in a way that allows you to move past it healthily and productively.

You can decide what to do with it later.
