I was wondering…
Eventually I figured that, lately, I have had an extreme lack of inspiration and when I began to ask myself where it had all disappeared to, I came up with a few possibilities. First, that I have let go of one, extremely large, part of why I was so impassioned. The “Dear Friend” (as I have portrayed him) ended up contacting me, and asked me what it was that I was doing. (seeing as I had made such a mess of things) In an impulsive moment that hearkened back to the care free years of my mid teens, I laid it all out. I finely put into words, and expressed to him, what it was that was honestly on my mind.
It was something I had not done in many years.
I found my words pouring out and unable to stop myself I became totally vulnerable… I sent him a few, utterly exposing, emails that made me weep as I wrote them.
When I had finished, the burning in my bosom left me, alone, for the first time that I could remember…
Sinse then, I have discovered that certain other things in my life, that I thought where also worth “protecting myself” from, had been based on wildly impossible standards and illogical convictions. In essence, I suppose I woke up from a horrible dream.
Sinse then, I have managed to reawaken many of my long sense abandoned, full heart feelings… many of the things I either denied myself the acknowledgement of, or completely overlooked.
And so I will begin to post the things I have actually written, and sent, now… Along side the many things I have not.
In the future I only hope this remains a place I can come to express myself, to myself, as it has been now for some time.

An old lady once told me that tears wash the soul. It seems so! I hope you are feeling better!
sometimes a good weeping session can do wonders……sometimes it wipes the soul clean….
i hope that you find your inspiration again!
