Writing Junkie

Yep, I'm hooked. This daily writing has pierced me, left me dangling, and reeled me in. I have to now. Every single day. It's so addictive. If you truly love to write you will find ways to do it. You won't let anything get in your way.

Now no matter where I am or what I am doing ideas percolate. Some make it to paper, some drown in the brain waves. It's okay, though...there's more where that came from.

As I've mentioned before, daily journals count as writing. And that can help you make good decisions in life, to boot!

Life is full of complication and conflict. You have to sort through these things and find out what's real to you. Writing helps me through that process. It lines out the issues and as I type my true feelings surface.

Here's a conflict, long distance love. So many people are dead set against it. Others are okay with it. There's no right or wrong, only what is right for the people involved. As I pondered my current attempt at it the other night, I started to write and worked through my feelings. Voila! An answer, my answer.

There are times it seems

you're a million miles away

those are the ones

that kill me most.

Some say long distance 

isn’t a relationship

the pain says it is

as it burns.

When I think about it

missing you clenches

and cinches that this is

the only way to have you.

Makes it clear

and simple for me

don’t let go

Because I can’t.
