What do you enjoy most about writing?
Writing is a way for me to meet myself, it’s also a way for me to make peace with what’s lost, with unresolved disappointments, with un-conveyed apologies. I also discovered the multi layered of myself and celebrated the growth, the achievements and documented the happy moments through my writing, yes it’s pretty much a form of meditation for me.
I tried this therapeutic writing some 9 years ago, I was under so much pressure and demands from everything.. my marriage was crumbling, it was never destined to be a happy one, but my goodness… If you ever have to deal with a narcissist in your life, and you tried to cut them off so they can’t harm you any further, you’ll know how devastated I was at that period.
20 days ago I tried to write daily (again) so far the streak hasn’t been cut off yet…once I’ve made it into 400ish days of writing but then the streak was off… I forget for what reason. This practice clearly improves my mental health, helping me to calm my monkey mind and guiding me to a clear thinking process, slowing down, and noticing the greats in the midst of daily mundane life.
I love to write, admittedly I strongly dislike the annual subscription fee for my writing platform like this, BUT, in my defense, the therapist’s fee is clearly a lot bigger than the annual subscription fee.
