I wrote today. Those three words mean a lot to me right now. I am at a point where I let myself get intimidated out of writing easily. I seem to have so much else to do, and there are no guarantees with writing. It is a hobby, a long shot dream that might not ever amount to anything. Why should I keep up with it so obsessively? The reason is simple, even if I lose sight of it rather frequently. I write because it is lifeblood to me. It helps to keep me (somewhat) sane. It helps me to keep perspective in my life. It is my favorite means of creating. I believe we are beings who create. It is a matter of finding what we love to create. I have many things - from concocting things in the kitchen to knitting to sewing to writing. But writing is the one I love most of all - and I wrote today.
