Dear Reader: IT‘S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU
Writing on this platform has taught me some very valuable lessons and has opened my eyes to what the emotional risks really are.
I am a very deep hearted person, and in return, much of my writing spills out as such. We all know that when a piece comes into our minds, we need to get it out before its gone. We also know that our writing causes the reader to look at what we have written and try to RELATE to it. This can encourage warm fuzzy feelings, or can cause major unwanted drama and hurt feelings. Either way we have done our jobs. We got the point across.
Lately I have been all over the map in my topics. I have written about Trump, I have written about Love and Relationships and I have written a poem about a mother. As I write almost daily, I feel it is necessary to express that my writings are NEVER created to intentionally hurt anyone or to provoke harboured insults.
As writers, we need to be able to show vulnerability, creativity, humility and honesty, or we won’t succeed. Writing is an extension of our hearts, our brains and our souls, spiralling around and forming WORDS. They aren’t always the words we expect to come out. In fact, sometimes, the finished product can be the exact opposite of what we actually planned to spew out.
