OH God bless you. Thanks for your kind words. I write a lot and won prizes for my writing too. But I've always written from the pain and it comes from a place that's so dark and pathetic. You know, I have 10 notebooks, I start them and then I lose the momentum. Then they get scribbled in and become entry books for shopping lists and doodles.
I think it all has to do with not having or being able to keep with a goal. Tried getting coaches - that didn't work either. I lose heart, I turn away, I disconnect from everyone before they disconnect from me. I was a tortured child and there was severe stuff going on at the time - if I can heal that, I might be able to break through. I really do feel bad and have been living as a recluse for so many years.
Glad this place exists. I am grateful and thank you again.

Your writing is amazing - you have a very unique way of expressing yourself - a positive that may restart that creative spark! Buy yourself a special notebook that you can use as a journal and get a nice pen that you love. Write it out - you have a gift.
And please, keep posting. I loved what I read.
