I never really thought much about writing, it got to a stage early last year where I accepted that I really enjoy it. Maybe it's because I feel like I think excessively and it makes room for more thoughts. It is an awesome filter, I've already mentioned the book called The Sound of Paper by Julia Cameron that's kinda how she describes it. It's definitely fair to say I don't consider myself to know much about this field, be it English/Poetry... but I don't think you need to, if you have the words and you want to express them in a particular way then that's good enough for me.
The reason I'm going on about all this is because a kind friend recently asked if he could show one of my pieces of writing on his blog, and I couldn't really say no, because I had no reason to say no. I feel really happy about it actually because, he has a 'sick' hand at what he does. An before I had met this friend I'd never really thought about showing writing in this way, and though I don't think he knows this I feel like his poems have subconsciously tutored me in the different little ways words can sit together happily, I mean who better to learn from than a linguistics student.
Blogging feels great, it has felt great, just to let the words breath. I think also reading my poem out over music has excelled a breath of fresh air into my confidence, not just people saying that they liked it but actually saying it for myself, for my auntie. I can still speak to her and its positive, partly melancholy but somehow it feels beautiful.
So there's life right now, in my thoughts, it could be forwarding to a dungeon of spam somewhere in the corner of the Internet I really don't mind, but if there are people reading (this feels like I'm trying to communicate with aliens) and enjoying then, Thank You. Come back, and interact if you like because words between people are more fun than words alone - I feel like someone else has coined this phrase... but we'll have it for tonight.
