Writing for me has always been a way out of the cave, an illumination to help keep me moving forward in my life. I have been interviewing and writing articles for newspapers and magazines since I was 13 years old writing teen features for the local weekly newspaper. But it wasn't until I began to write honestly about my own life that I saw the worth of my words as more than a means to a paycheck or a byline. My words have helped to heal me. Your words can help to heal you.
When you honestly put your thoughts down on paper, you validate your experiences and can begin to analyze and organize your thoughts in a way that is profoundly meaningful and therapeutic. Just writing for 20 to 30 minutes a day won't help. Writing in a pointed fashion with the goal of self-discovery will help you to unearth some feelings and to lay to rest the pebble in your shoe you have not been able to shake.
Writing can save your life not only as rescue but as preservation. We all lead lives worthy of preservation. Our stories need to be told, if to no one else, then only to ourselves. We need to place on paper what we know to be true. We need to honor our stories and use our words well.
Trust the process and begin to write.
