Ruminations. That is why I want to write.
I wake up with things swirling around in my mind. Sometimes I try to piece parts of a dream together, or try to hold onto a feeling it gave me. Or I might remember something from the night before like a story from the news, or the plot of a movie. Maybe I recall a conversation with a friend.
I often want to work out my anger about a haunting injustice. Writing it down can put it into perspective, or simply be therapeutic.
A crazy event that made me laugh compels me to document it. I just have to share it with someone to make sure about what I witnessed. Life can be so bizarre at times; I just need to verify it.
As I get older, memories flash by that often need clarity. The emotional realm of recall can bring joy. Conversely, writing about a painful past can bring acceptance and resolution.
I write to explore the dimensions of my life. And I am grateful that I can write, without judgement or expectation.
I want to write mostly to get those ruminations out of my head and into the world.
Writing is very therapeutic. I like to be able to go back and remember and then write it down so I can read it when one day I won't remember it any longer. :)
