Writing is My Therapy

It is not always easy to express or talk about how you are feeling. In those situations, I find it easy for me to write. Although this is a public place for writing, not all writing has to be shared.

The difference between people, though, is that some sink and some float and others even make it to the shore. Writing will help you to stay afloat and then from there you can write your way to the shore. Writing is my therapy, my passion and what keeps me going.

These little things may not be so obvious to others, but they become huge to your confidence and self satisfaction. There is no question that there is truth in the saying "You must love yourself before you can love someone else."

The Power of Words

Talking is powerful. Words relay the stories of others and advice. Reading can become therapy to certain people. When you read a story about somebody in a similar situation as you, but was worse off, it is true that most people can find comfort in their situation that is not so bad.

Young and Naive

Although being naive isn't always looked at positively, it is easy to understand why being naive could be appealing in this situation. When you're young, you don't know as much and your mind isn't very corrupted. It is only until someone or something corrupts you that
