To Write or Not to Write?


For years now, I've flirted with writing a fictionalized story of my experiences as a targeted individual. For years I've never felt capable, that the words would not come to me in a way that would touch another human's spirit. That place that connects, that sees beyond words on a page, to reach that place called empathy to achieve understanding. Things have changed, in me. I'm more confident in who I am, and even more sure of who these "perps" are and are not.

I've learned lot about myself over the years, experiencing harassment, mobbing at work, attempts on my life, slander, assaults, through it all, through it all, I can finally say, that I'm a pretty amazing person.

You'll never know if you can unless you try. And often we are our own worst critics.

Let me ask it this way: How many people does it need to touch in order for you to feel the process of writing it out was worth it?

@ViciDraco Good point! I thank you for the thoughtful response. I think the last vestiges of the "need to explain" is falling away as I heal from these events. You're so right. A question for me to ponder in all of my writings.
