Getting strong today, a giant step each day.
Barely sleeping; ruminations on how disease follows its carrier to the ends of the earth.
Through the years, writing has been on many occasions an examination of pain. Perhaps by writing about it and attempting to break it down into its most base components, you have felt that you could ease it.
There is never an escape hatchet from it; it exists in the most basic of forms and actions throughout your day. When you look out the window or watch a cartoon, and you hear the joke, inducing a kind of laughter. The same type that occurs when you are hurt, as in falling out of a tree and your body is in such a state of shock and pain as you’ve never known, that you begin to giggle as if you’d lost your mind.
The struggle continues, even when there’s blood through your veins that spells out love.
Why wouldn’t it?
This has been the division between my old life and new. It’s been that kind of morning. Too early for anything but breakfast and words to help the madness. So I write. We’ve come full circle again

i’m glad that you do write, and i’m glad that you share it with us….
Write on… and we will read on… have a great day, Shy
Writing is probably the most common form of catharsis for the soul, alongside painting. Poetry might stand highest of all.
Funny how you should mention writing to get to the base component. Before people had computers at home (but after the dinosaurs became extinct), I would sit and write every problem in my life or pain that I experienced. It was a way for me to get a grip on how I felt about the situation or to clarify for me where this problem/pain came from and why it affected me. Now I have Xanga and I type it all out and you guys get to help me make sense of life.
You know that if I could, I would be there in a flash for a good cup of Brasilian coffee with you. Then we would go to my cousin’s house in Varginha and swim in his pool.
You know that I love you, too. Oh, changing the look of our site must be in the air. I love your new look.
writing surely releases hurt but at times nothing works….its crazy….keep the faith and please take care!*hugz*
excellent. i enjoy your writings and i hope you will continue
And what one writes everybody will understand in a different way. Is not great? Immagine writing a book read by 1.000.000 people, they all would see different things in there. I love the Idea, and your writing too.

Shy…
A single alphabet written a hundred times doesn’t become a word. Neither does a single word a million times become a sentence.
Sometimes, albeit rarely, silence says a million words. But who can you be silent with?
Its true that writing eases the pain… i prefer to write as well when i am very restless and distracted due to problems in my life……
*hug*
