I read and follow a great deal of blogs, there are many types that I enjoy reading... one particular type of blog I really like following are the ones where they open themselves up completely. I usually connect with those bloggers the most as they are able to capture sheer sadness or joy with just a passage or a picture. They evoke feelings in me and I love when someone can touch me like that, it's not always that easy.
I have learned over time the best thing for me to do is write my feelings out, then I seem to deal with them better... when they are out in the open, they don't seem as daunting. My attitude is really this, be yourself and have fun... life is too short not to enjoy the beauty that is offered to us daily. I love the song 'I Hope You Dance' by Lee Ann Womack, basically enjoy ourselves in anyway we can in life...
I often need to say how I feel, so that down the road I don't live with regret and say why didn't I take the chance to say how I felt, even if I didn't always get the response I hoped for... I think regret would be the hardest thing to live with later on in life... I don't plan to sit my life out, I plan to dance as often as possible.
I cherish my past, I accept my present and I dream for my future ♥
Yes blogging is very helpful in several ways. Writing is cathartic isn't it? It's like a release. Even if you're writing just to write and not to post, it's still therapeutic.
ReplyDeleteI think some people might find my blog depressing. I realize that not everyone gets it. I think about how to say things, how to shape the story, which photos to match. I publish it.. maybe tweak it a bit.
ReplyDeleteBut the great news is that - after all that - it's done. The cat's outta the bag. I move on. And that is something to be thankful for.

Thank you Keith, you are so right, writing is very cathartic... whether you post or not :)
ReplyDeleteExactly LuLu, I love your blog, you always make me think... I always feel emotions.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment :)
I am so glad that you say how you feel and let things out of your system. I think building things inside is a very dangerous way to live. It is not good for our arteries or our blood sugar. I have experience of that.
ReplyDeleteThank you Munir... I agree it's not good to hold things in... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really like that song too! I think writing things down helps me to work through things in my head. Writing it down helps me sort my thoughts out so I can think more clearly.
ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy... writing things down seem to clear my mind as well :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you have the ability to write out your feelings and you're actually able to cope with them better that way. A lot of people don't have such a positive outlet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jaimie... writing always helps me to cope better...
