Writing My Heart Out Heals Me

-
     I believe writing my heart out is one path to healing myself. The moment I start to jot down the breathing of my heart, my tears run down off my cheeks. In my most emotional mind state, I am able to reflect, give some thoughts about it, validating and absorbing my true situation. I am like a child expressing my heart out to my father, and it comforts me after. The best part about it is when I came to a realization -realizing the bright side out of it.- and accepting what happened without taking it personally. It feels great to let emotions out especially when I got no one to talk to. Now you know it's okay to speak on a paper or creating blog post like you are talking to a listener.


     Writing from the heart has helped me to help myself. Much better to do that than get drowned on my own thoughtlessness. And yes, when I am gravely emotional, my thoughts become volatile and it frightens me that I might decide quickly on something I would regret in the future. Well if it's a life-changing move, it wouldn't be as easy like random decisions of new hairstyle, change of fashion, new diet or movie to watch. It would require a lot of thinking and validation. Of course I also did some research and readings to enlighten my mind just to help me explain my feeling, and listening to someone else experience that I can relate from that moment. I write because it is my passion, and though I am not a good writer, I still write for my self anyway because it heals me.

Here's a Relatable Poem about our Choices in Life . I walk down the street. There is a hole. I don't see it. I fall in. It isn't my fault. It takes a very long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is still a deep hole. I pretend not to see it. I fall in. I pretend it's still not my fault. It takes a long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is still the same deep hole. I see it. I fall in anyway. It's a habit. I get out quicker this time. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole. I see it. I walk around it. I don't fall in. I walk down a different street. -- Portia Nelson

Painful Break Up vs. Happy Break Up

-
I thought about this for some time. Why I felt no pain on my break up with my previous partner? there were no struggle, no regrets, just nothingness. In fact it was a happy break up. Months ago, I listened to my friend's story about her painful breakup with her boyfriend of 9 years. I knew the couple since from the start of their relationship. I wasn't expecting them to break up after all they've been through. I was expecting that they would get engage and get married. Infact, I was just waiting for their announcement because the last time we talked, she made a joke about them getting married soon. But that is not the story. This is about her pain and the processed she'd gone through compared to mine from my previous break-up. It was totally the opposite! As her friend, I can say I feel for her, I can relate somehow but only because I'm a woman too with emotions and had other other relationships before. But honestly, I haven't experienced being hurt so muc...
