it makes me feel not so alone to know that other people feel the same about being so closed off all the time, and it’s nice to know that you can get out of that “writers block.” i’m still working on not being in my own head all the damn time (and it’s really difficult because i find it difficult to start conversations with people and connect) in my 8th grade yearbook my school counselor wrote a note that has really stuck in my heart, it said: “… Don’t be afraid to use your voice (you have important things to say) and take up space!” and i try to keep that in mind when talking to people because if they don’t care for what i have to say then we’re not meant to be friends. thank you soo very much for sharing your experiences and i look forward to reading your articles every week and i’m excited for what you write in the future!! have a lovely day!!! 🩷🩷🩷
awww hi Evelyn!!! Your school counselor was so right!! You do have important things to say and you say these things in a very beautiful way! People who are meant for you will always find you and appreciate you for who you are! You’re very talented 💐
Ahhh loved this and can relate to it so much. Always been an introspective person and more of a quiet child that had a lot going on in her mind. The moment I picked up the pen (around 7 I believe) there was a great relief of letting all of that go. Or at least understand my thoughts a bit better, give them some structure or just simply express them. Through random stories or poetry.
And yes everything = experience!! Don't endanger yourself for the story hahaaa gosh, I remember once I wrote a poem that was so fucked up and I happened to live it about one year later. I always felt like I manifested it. I feel like I manifested stuff I wrote about and they weren't all so pretty. Did you ever experience it like that? It's interesting to think about.
Oh my god, Lisa, i feel that totally. That’s why i wait until the end of the day to write on my journal because i too end up manifesting bad stuff… Why does that happen??? LOL So crazy. I think it’s because we write with such conviction that these things will happen, especially for the bad things… If only we did that for the good things too. I bet we’d be millionaires or something.
Haha exactly! Well, I started doing this too and it also really works :) Not always exactly how I write it but when you write with intention I really believe we have a super power to manifest the good things too <3
this means so much to me Amanda, especially given the post I literally just made on here like 11 minutes ago. you're the sweetest and smartest. eternally grateful!
HI ALEIKZA!!! it’s always so important to me to read your thoughts, and i’m so glad my own thoughts resonated with you! And also, don’t worry about anything, because you will get better and inspiration comes to us in the most unexpected moments! i love you so much and i’m always here for you!!! 🫶🏻🥹💌
i too was an introspective loner as a kid, my own mother dubbed me "anti social" before i even knew what that meant lol. and much like you, imagination and writing became my refuge. except i did the opposite of writing about myself, wrote lots of fictional stories as a kid also as a means of finding myself and just ended up being way more closed off to the world as a result. sometimes i think i'm nothing more than my emotions, and because i haven't had many experiences of note having made little to no friends, i always feel like there's no point of writing about anything else, if that makes sense?
you're right that we don't have to hone in on those "tortured" feelings and sadness all the time in order to fuel our writing, because life is so much more than that. in any case, i hope this week is kinder towards you <3
💐💌 char!! thank you for your beautiful comments! and yes, life is so much more than that! Once you find your refuge in the beautiful things in life or in something you love to do, life blossoms way quicker and it becomes easier. Much love to you always!!! 🥹🥹🥹
