I was asked why I quit writing and I really couldn’t give a solid answer. Lack of time, lack of motivation, didn’t know where I wanted to go with it? I really don’t know. I am starting over without a specific purpose. I do ramble and plan to do it a lot. Writing is my favorite form of therapy actually. In the last 2 ½ years, I barely wrote at all. I tried to blog in 2011 and failed. I deleted every other blog before that. I stopped journaling, stopped reading, stopped writing. I did write one poem in 2011 though, and I didn't even keep a copy (I normally do).
One more time: I don’t know where I am going with this, but a piece of me feels like I have been or am going through a rebirth that has been 2 ½ years in the making. If you are a parent, I can relate. If you were married, I got you. If you aren’t married anymore, I got you too. If you have or had important relationships that shaped your life, maybe you can relate to stuff I talk about. Just best believe you are covered here. If you have stories about the best friends in the entire world, feel free to laugh and cry with me…do you have a family who holds you down when you need it? Dealing with spirituality and religion? Career in limbo? Whatever, I am down. I guess it is time for me to get it out and see where this journey takes me….and I am excited about it. Away we go...and if you have a blog, feel free to email me. I would love to follow.
The Catcher In The Rye. J.D. Salinger
"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
