Therapeutic Writing

4:12 AM

I don't know if I said this many times enough, but I will always repeat it.
I write what I fail to express! and I fail quite often in that department and I call it "Socia
l Awkwardness"

Since I was a kid, I had a big problem in expressing how I feel, to a point where I came across as a mute child.
My mum was by far the only one "I spoke to" in long sentences that is, other than that... I'm was a complete failure.

Back in school I use to face so  many issues when it came to talking, I was an active kid non the less, did after school activities like art, sport and even drama classes... they were a way to express myself without talking!
My mum picked up on that and handed me a piece of paper, now of course I start drawing and doodling. One day after a literature class, I was introduced to something better than doodling, writing!

It was an assignment but writing my thoughts on the topic was such a relief, few years after I became addicted! I can finally express myself in a form that is considered art... Poetry!

Now I'm no great poet still, but I still have my very first poem that makes no sense what so ever.
Reading that mess of grammar and vocabulary vomit still brings me Joy.
It's written on blue paper taken from my diary, yes! I was that kid that had a day to day diary.
I still do.

I found out the cure to my own weird illness!

Taking all the words that fail to come out of my mouth onto a paper was therapy.
many years later I still find myself writing how I feel, in poems, diary posts, blog posts or even Facebook statuses.

The minute I'm done writing it, I start speaking  it.

Yes!
People have managed to call me dramatic, express myself a little too much and attention seeking!
To be honest I don't care what others say... it makes me feel good!
And when I share what I write online it's not to seek attention but rather have content that might either help or inspire others...
Cause before I share what I wrote I was looking for something relevant to what I was going through, and no one shared their story or one didn't not hit home well enough for me.

Couldn't say it, no one related... I wrote it.

I write everything...
I write my stories, other people stories, my wishes, my crush list and even the dreams I have while sleeping.
When I talk to someone who's going through anything one of the advices I give is... write it down, share it... It will go away.

Some use music, some use movies, some use drugs or alcohol to medicate... Writing can fit in that list of what can make you feel better.
Seeing what you think or feel on paper... is a form of freedom.

Write it down, send it the world and never look back!

And I wonder why do I get my ass in so much trouble sometimes, people always think that I'm either talking about them or simply being DRAMATIC... ooh well!
