Maybe you are, maybe you aren’t wondering why or have even noticed that I did not post either Tuesday or Wednesday. If you didn’t that is okay:) Same old writers block. But this time the universe sprinkled in a little self doubt. Now I am not saying this looking for reassurance I am simply stating this because it is true. I started overthinking things and was really wondering why anyone would want to read the random mentally ill words of some girl on the internet. But then I realized…I started this for myself. Not so I could gain a million followers or become and influencer…would I hate that absolutely not but that was and is not the purpose of this blog. The purpose of this blog is to give me an outlet to express my thoughts and work through my complicated mental health and hopefully offer some help to others or simply to be there for someone to relate to if they need it.
I feel like I always talk a lot about writers block…or is that only in my head? Anyway I feel like I am in a perpetual sate of writers block and for a fleeting moment I thought maybe I couldn’t call myself a writer if I didn’t actually write…but then I reminded myself that was false and that I am a writer and anyone can be a writer. Wether you are writing for others to read or simply in journal for yourself. They both qualify.
I don’t have to overthink it…I can just create…wether it is a masterpiece or something I am not so sure about it is all important…if it makes me happy.
I have been watching Dickinson on Apple T.V. It is a modern comedic take on the life of the real American poet Emily Dickinson and while watching I have been inspired to attempt to write poetry. I have said this before, that I have always wanted to try my hand at poetry but to be honest I have been very hesitant because I feel like I am not good at writing in a poetic form. My style seems to be more of a journal like narrative. I have I guess technically written a poem, You are Everything, if that counts. What is the definition of a poem?
Okay, I looked it up and according to the great dictionary of Google the definition of a poem is, “a piece of writing that partakes of a nature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical…”
So technically yes?
When I attempt once more I will be sure to let you know.
There are my thoughts for today…stay tuned there may be more:)
