Bear it All

There was a time in my life where I thought emoting was a bad thing. To always be emotional and to never keep those moments to yourself always felt weird and outlandish. But, I have always been a passionate person. Someone who always wore her heart on her sleeve, and it was (and still is) difficult growing up that way. I like to say I have a lot of love in my heart for things and people, even when it breaks repeately.

As I grow older, I realized that emoting is not necessarily a terrible thing, especially when you’re a writer. So If I ever felt uncomfortable, sad, angry, excited and needed to find an outlet to express these emotions, I always stuck with my writing.

No matter what, writing gave me the escape I needed to free myself. Open up my mind and dream a whole other existence. I could always depend on my laptop and word processor to give me a leg up on how I was feeling at the time. Each time I take a breath and write, I immediately felt better about each situation.

“Don’t be afraid to bear your emotions to the world and expel your feelings into your writing.”

If there has been a time in your life that needed introducing, there is no time like the present! So take your ideas, grab a pen, some paper, or go online and write them down. Don’t worry about it being grammatically correct, spelled right, or even the spaces. Just write how you feel and don’t stop. You can fix all the grammatical errors at a later date.

Do your best to give yourself some creative freedom to let all of the baggage go. Claim it and write it so you can own it and wear it proudly.
