I don't write daily...just when my heart desires to. When Im in crisis or prolong turmoil (for instance, when I've been hospitalized..many times) I will write A LOT. Most of it is dark, scary and plain sad. When I am writing though, its a release...a way to get it all out in private and I can choose to share, which I have, or be private with it. I have one that is full and right now I am half-way through my new one. The other 4 I filled up in recent years I have gotten rid of. That was powerful for me.

When I write....I free associate. I just write whatever is in my mind, whether it makes sense or not at the time. My pencil never leaves the page and sometimes I will write 6 pages! Lol

And sometimes, if I am brave I will look back on what I've written and I am amazed. It makes perfect sense. Often times we know exactly how we feel but its just hidden by all the other crap swirling in our thoughts.
