Wednesday already?

Good morning!

My week is flying by! I just started reading Ancillary Justice a science fiction! I’ll keep you guys updated on how it is!

I have been writing a little here and there. Mainly for my creative writing class and journaling in my free time. I never put much stock into journaling even though it has always been highly recommended to me by therapists for as long as I’ve been in therapy.

Since about August I have decided I would keep a journal for real this time. I have to say that it really does help getting emotions out. I always feel a release after writing in it. I think I need a less pretty journal though I’m not sure I want my words to live forever in those pages.

The release of putting my thoughts all out on the page whether they are nice, rude, or what I think is funny has been so refreshing. All my thoughts I won’t say to people in fear of judgment or things you know you shouldn’t say so you don’t make it into my journal. This is freeing in a way I never imagined. I’m being picky and choosy about my journaling but I think the more I do it the more I’ll write every little thing.

Here’s a poem I wrote yesterday morning about how time really is the biggest healer yet I’m in the opinion that at the same time it plays tricks on your psyche.

Time

Fickle thing

Needy thing

Not needy itself

Me

I am the needy one

Always needing it

Sped

Slowed

Stilled

Letting it do its thing is so beautiful

Yet

I feel restless not settled

Waiting waiting for it to do its thing

With all my love,

Rebecca
