Writing Is A Form Of Therapy; Sometimes I Wonder How All Those Who Do Not Write, Compose, Or Paint Can

if someone asks me at the end, i’d tell them

PUT ME BACK IN IT

I WOULD DO IT AGAIN

IF I COULD HOLD YOU FOR A MINUTE

ID GO THROUGH IT AGAIN

I WOULD STILL BE SUPRISED

I COULD FIND YOU, DARLIN

IN ANY LIFE

IF I COULD HOLD YOU FOR A MINUTE

I WOULD DO IT AGAIN

I like the dark part of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty, when it’s hollow, when ceilings are harder and farther away. Then I can breathe, and can think while others are sleeping, in a way can stop time, can have it so – this has always been my dream – so that while everyone else is frozen, I can work busily about them, doing whatever it is that needs to be done, like the elves who make the shoes while children sleep.

As a rule, James didn’t really get on Facebook. He kept it pretty much exclusively to be tagged in embarrassing photos by his mother and Remus. Curiosity got the better of him and he unlocked the phone quickly. He nearly dropped it as soon as he read the damn thing.

Introverts are actually a lot like Clark Kent–mild and unassuming much of the time, but able to swoop in and turn on our Supercharm when we choose.

But it didn’t break me. Nothing can break me unless I let it.

I’m always happy…Sometimes I just forget.

If you’re an artist, then this is for you.

This year, I want you to be unapologetic when you create.

Don’t apologize for your writing, drawing, music, designs, films, sculptures, cosplays, knitting, sewing, cooking, and anything else I might’ve missed.

Don’t apologize for the quality.

Stop being afraid of what you can accomplish. You might think you can do so much better, well guess what? You will. You’re always improving. But if you start to apologize for the best you can do at this moment, then you might restrain yourself, stop yourself from taking risks that will help you.

I know this is a hard thing to stop. I do it all the time. When I submit art to people that I’m not so confident about, I’ll apologize in advance.

This year, I challenge you, and myself, to stop doing it.
