Permalink  

i am quite a creative person.  i love writing:-  letters, poems, short stories, etc.  this skill has been of great help and comfort during some very dark times in my life.  i have started using the skill again since my breakup with AH.  sometimes i just sit and write whatever comes into my head (most inconvenient when the thoughts come at 2.30am!, sometimes i plan a story line and conclusion.  today i sat to write a letter to my dad but got sidetracked as various thoughts wouldn't go away.  Reading them back to myself i realised how strong i am becoming.  i would like to share them with you in the hope that they inspire strength and resilience in you too.  x

That is a beautiful share, thank you so much!

And writing therapy really works! I have done research about it, and writing down your feelings helps you process them even if you never look at your writing again. It's true!

So I recommend that everybody who is struggling write down your feelings once a day--keep a journal or burn the pages when you're done if you want to. Either way, it will help!

:D
