Topic: Writing (01/11/07)
Writing
To heal myself of the wounds of the past that just never seem to be resolved.

Even now I still think of my first love and no, not Jesus.
My human first love.*smile* i know.

We get so religious sometimes that we just can't speak English anymore and the world into which we have been born, to be the light and the salt thereof, cannot relate to us.
So please keep your feet on the ground for this one.

I write to myself.
To think things through and try to find the answers.
Answers to the challenges I face in everyday life.

I've always written things down.
Like a diary
And as I wrote my circumstances changed.
One minute I am this hurt and angry writer and then the next minute I am this thankful happy individual
All on paper

Some things, I would write about a thousand times before the story would move on...over and over and over and over and OVER, the same story
Believe me, I’ve wondered many times whether GOD ever gets tired of listening.

Today I write about moving on.
How do you know that you've moved on?
And the past is exactly where it is. In the past.

I looked up and old friend today.
Why?
That's what triggered this
Why?
If it's an OLD friend then
Why don't I just let it be?

Last night I realized that I am still in love with my ex.
Why?
It doesn't change anything between us.
Then why?
Why am I still holding on to the past?
Why?

It's because the future does not appear to hold much promise for me.

Why?

Because, I’ve watched as every hope, dream and desire I’ve ever had, shatter before my eyes.
Broken
Into so many pieces.
So one day, I will say HE.

I was a judge this week and I was touched by this piece and personally ranked it very high. It was well written and a gem here among the beginners.

I expect you'll be moving up pretty soon - I can only see you getting better!
