Therapy, poems and pens!
I don’t know about you guys but whenever I’m confused or
frustrated with something that’s happened in my life or something that someone
has said, I always reach for a pen! I think the most valuable thing in the
world is true emotions (which are hard to come by these days). When I
have a pure emotion – such as: frustration or confusion or joy – I believe the
most powerful way to render that is to put it into words
and on paper!
When I write, it’s almost as though I’m drawing a map for
myself. I start with what I know and then I draw conclusion and then continue
from there. Writing is therapy to me! Recently, I’ve had some very
‘interesting’ experiences that I would have found much more difficult to cope
with if I hadn’t found writing to be my savour! Honestly, writing is one of the only
reasons I’m happy today! Although that sounds extremely radical, it’s so true!
Using writing to discover what I’m really feeling is how I make decisions – and
I’m very happy with my life right now! When you don’t sensor what you write
you’ll discover thoughts and feelings that you didn’t know were there and a solution
to your issue will be much easier to find!
A friend of mine came to me a while back looking for advice,
but her issue was way over my head and I had no idea what to do. So, for over
an hour I sat with her and told her what I did when I was stuck in a situation
I had no solution to. As she wrote I occasionally told her where to go
next and how to think about things so she could keep writing and by the end of
the hour, not only, did she feel a lot better she knew how to solve her problem.
The writing wasn’t fancy or in any form but what she gained from that writing
was more powerfully then any piece of literature could have given her. By letting out all those emotions on to a single piece of paper, truly amazing
things can come from it! And if you don’t find a solution at least you can make a poem! ;)
I hope the next time your stuck between a rock and a hard
place you’ll reach for a pen! If you want any tips or advice on how I write or
where to get started send me an email! I'd love to talk to you! bylaurastrong@gmail.com
