Writing as Therapy
I went to Borders tonight, and I looked through some books and magazines. Going to bookstores or the library invigorates me, somehow. I love books, I love reading, and being surrounded by good books just excite me.
In one of the magazines, a woman talked about writing, and how writing helped her to make sense of her world, her problems, just whatever was going on in her life. And, I realized, that it does the same for me. I write down my most personal thoughts in a journal, and afterwards I feel refreshed. I have greater clarity after I write.
I’m realizing more and more that writing is more than a way to earn money from home, it’s one of my purposes in life. And, I plan on pursuing writing in a more vigorous way this year.
