2016 Review

This year was my first as a blogger.

“Writing is the painting of the voice”

I started writing in middle school. It gave me an escape from real life. Aside from making straight A’s in all of my writing classes, I’ve always felt that my skills are nowhere near close to perfect. But that’s okay. Someone once told me I should continue to write no matter what. I said to them that there’s not much of a point if no one reads it. That’s a lie. Writing can be therapeutic regardless of if someone reads it or not. Since I started writing again, I have felt a small relief from certain things in my life. I’m able to express certain emotions without horrible repercussions.

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”- Edgar Allan Poe

I didn’t wake up to a phone call this morning like I did 3 years ago. That was a relief. Last year, I stopped expecting bad things to happen on this day. I just thought that maybe if I didn’t expect bad things then it would be just like any other normal day. I tried that again this year but it didn’t work out as well.

“Where words fail, music speaks”

 

Isn’t is odd when you feel like you have so much to say and yet nothing comes out? I’m still new to blogging. Most of my writings are safely tucked away in my personal journal. It seems so easy to write when no one can critique what you have to say or how well you say it.  Or should I say write it? It seems that most of my ideas come at the most inconvenient times…when I’m busy or not around a laptop or paper.
