Why do we write?
Friday, July 1st, 2022
We write to share information but mostly we write to express ourselves – either the beauty or knowledge that lives inside of all of us.
One of the hardest things for me is not being able to express myself well anymore – hand writing is impossible, typing is hard and my speech while improving is not what it was.
I want to write though, even if it’s slow and short at first.
I have this creativity that lives deep in my core that wants to escape.
I wrote a story for a friend this week, it was not my best work but it was the first time I had written in 3.5 years. It proved I can still do it!
I have had so much I have wanted to express in that time. The anguish of being housebound and feeling like my god had let me down, the miracle of surgery, the anguish of realizing I will never completely shed this disease. Getting my life back slowly, one step at a time literally. Losing my magic, starting to regain it again.
So stay tuned – there will be some writing here in the future!
