In a weird space

My writing has taken a back seat to it all. To all the tumultuous bullshit that’s been a total drag and left me a drift into some weird ass place I can’t express accurately into words yet. I supposed that’ll get better when I get into practice with it more. I just need time-time and space to work it out.

Ever catch yourself saying that so much that it’s to a point that you get sick of it but it’s a stark truth that plagues us all. And when we don’t get it in the midst of the automations of our lives, a lot of meaning gets lost.

I’m trying to find mine more, some of that means connecting to the collective again for inspiration I lost long ago.

I gained a lot of weight physically in the process as it took a toll on me, gave up on life, gave into the despairs of my psychological overflow I couldn’t manage. It’s been brewing for a lifetime and it was further actuated by circumstances I could never fathom. It was an awaited thing.

The triumph of such lingering events is that I lost a lot of ideals and thoughts that were never fully mine to begin with, used them as place holders and ran with it. That I can see much clearly now, is an absolute injury and insult-and assault on ones own unique abilities to be themselves for themselves and not by a book or for sake of trendiness.

This I consider a blessing although it came with a massive rude awakening. A much needed one and I feel although my slate hasn’t been swept freely clear( how does that ever happen anyhow) I have more space to allow in the things that actually make more sense to me. Something that was a actual gift from the calamity. Freeing up space to rethink myself and not get ahead of myself. Nothing more than where I’m at in the here and now. It’s a constant practice though and some things remain in practice still as there’s always people, places, situations that likes to test you, your boundaries, and what you think you know along the way. Which can always change, and for the better too.

Anyhow, I’m here, the rest is waiting. I’ll write soon.

Writing should serve as a tool for us, instead of crutch. I see a lot of people getting in the habit of using their writing as a means to validate their struggles, rather than finding ways of pushing past them.

Taking the time to gather our thoughts before we put pen to paper is crucial towards our healing. It's to help us know what demons we're up against rather than writing to complain and feed the darkness in our minds.

But it sounds like you've done a fair amount of introspection to figure out your problems, and that takes priority over the need to be seen and heard. You now have a renewed focus with which to proceed with your goals, which goes a long ways towards helping you get to where you need to go.

Good luck. Taking the first steps are the hardest, but things get easier once you keep moving forward

@TinyViolins The endless loops took time to develop so it takes time to undo as we know then💜

And that’s a very good point. Having the thoughts be prepared well enough to begin writing. I also have ADHD so I got lots of spontaneous shit that happens so yay me👍🙃

@AltDel777 Sometimes I'm too pragmatic for my own good. Can't seem to find a lot of good in starting something I don't see going anywhere

@TinyViolins I can’t tell you how much I run up against this. I tend to overthink shit I don’t need to, I’m still trying to understand this. But I know that you don’t necessarily have to have all the pieces gathered in order to make a move in something. This I think covers a multitude of things in life but start with what ya got and see how the rest unfolds if you don’t have it ‘all together’, which who really does I haven’t met them. Take a leap of faith in something and let the net appear thing comes to mind…🤷‍♀️
ok good luck,,,,,what you wrote,, is way over this old country boys head,,,

@jackrabbit10 Eh, it’s nothing more than this: I was proved a different way of looking at life and still am. I was very wrong about some things in my life that I thought were ‘good’. But ya live and learn and keep on learning….
@AltDel777 very true,,,take care,,
