Lists

Posted by Heidi at 5:17 PM

Reasons I Don't Update
  • I don't know what to write about as I seem to have massive writers block.
  • My life is semi-calm right now so I'm not sure how to write when it isn't about chaos and pain.
  • I have a list of shit that's happened in my past that I want to deal with in therapy and, really, I could write about those things but I guess it scares me.
  • I've fallen out of the habit and I'm not sure how to get back in it.
  • I have no life and feel that I'm way too boring these days to pull off an entertaining post.

Things That Happen When I Don't Update
  • I feel guilty that I've abandoned you all.
  • I have less catharsis and support.
  • I don't deal with the shit in my past that I need to deal with.
  • I don't feel whole.

I need to write more. I know this. Because of how much it helps me.  I just wish I knew how to force myself to do something that's always come so naturally before.

    I'm still reading whenever you're still writing.

    Does every post have to be entertaining? It could be meaningful or inspiring or just a post, you know? ;) <3

      I don't think I meant "entertaining" really...maybe closer to "something worth writing down"!

    Well I hope you do start writing again - don't worry about being 'interesting' cause you don't have to have drama to keep people reading. Hopefully you can find your groove again - my fingers are crossed - good luck!

    I find if I just sit and start typing, something usually comes to mind...and being on FB takes the "need" to release the thoughts in my head away from being blogworthy.

    I would like to read about the stuff you need to deal with in therapy, if you feel right about sharing it. A good tip: Using a lot of cognitive words (I believe, I think, it is because a.s.o) as opposed to only emotional words (It felt, it was awful, I was scared etc) when writing about it helps process bad memories in a more efficient way, and helps get the anxiety out of the system in a gentle way as well.
