I’m not commanding all of you to start writing. I just want to tell you a simple way to heal yourself when you get sad, sick, angry or whatever that associated with your emotions. I’ve done this every time when I felt so. It’s much cheaper than going to a doctor, psychiatrist, or asking an advice from our friends in a coffee shop. And yup, this way is called “writing”.
There are multiple things that you can do to healing your self. The way that I do, is by writing. I think writing is one of the most independent instrument on this earth. Through this, you don’t get interrupted from other living creatures, you don’t need validations from other, you don’t have to following a bunch of shit regulations, and so on. It’s just you, pen and paper. Actually, that’s what writers do when they got sad. The most powerful words is the honest one, and the best words is the flowing one. Quite simple, but trust me, the hardest things to write is to be honest and to be flow.
I think humans are too shy to be honest with their feelings and emotions, they tend to denied all of those shit. I don’t know why, ask Freud for this. That’s why they need an instrument to pour up their true expression. A writers still could hang out with their friends with a fake beautiful smile in their face and act like everything is good while their heart is bleeding. This is the interesting of writers, they don’t cry, but they bleed on papers. They exploded all the buried emotions through a paper.
The analogy is like a surgeon. To cure a disease, a person must be dissected and the process will certainly cause a little bleeding. It’s same when a writers are getting sad. The doctor needs a tools to do a surgeon, and the writers are also needs a tools -is a pen and a paper. Where words as a blood that flow in the paper. The interesting thing is that the surgical stitch marks will imprint on a person’s body. While the scratch of honesty on the paper that you write will be an art that you will remember as long as you live. And remember, writing is free my friends…
