So When?

I received comments recently about not writing and posting as much.  Well, I haven’t.  Here’s why.  At one point I felt I had to write something each day, as it was expected and that someone needed it; however, I learned that sometimes I do not need to write, and sometimes no one needs to hear what I have to say.  When I pressured myself to write, I was not always thrilled with the outcome, but I did it anyway.  In the last few months, I’ve realized that it is okay to skip a few days or weeks.  It has nothing to do with me or anyone else, but has everything to do with listening to my head and heart, and timing.  

I still write primarily for me, and it is still a major form of therapy for me.  My life still ends up in the ditch from time to time, but I do not always write or talk about it.  Rather, I process the situation and determine when or if I need to share.

If I skip a few days or weeks, it just means I am either not in a creative space, or I am using my tools to process events in my life.  If I go quiet, I would challenge others to get creative and send me something.  The therapy you get from putting words to paper is unimaginable until you do it.  Yep! That’s a challenge.  Care to accept it?
