What I enjoy the most about writing…

The feelings.

I learned some time ago, as a kid really, that when you have the sort of personality that feels things deeply you hold it back, because if you let them out you will burn everyone around you with the power of a ten suns.

I’m not talking so much about anger even, but love.

People can only take so much love. It’s weird but it’s a real thing. It’s said that the more you love someone the less you should show it lest you scare them away.

When I was younger I scared everyone away. Okay that’s a slight exaggeration, but only slight.

When I write I can pour out all that I have to otherwise keep carefully guarded, and when it’s read, rather than scaring people away, it intrigues them.

Yes, finally I have an outlet and a means in which to express myself to humanity that doesn’t involve having to rein myself in.

  1. How does one show less love? I’m currently trying to come to terms with being alone for the rest of my days, but I’m intrigued now.

    Self discipline and realizing that some people simply won’t want it. Putting your love into a project instead. Things like that. 😊
