For one I suffer from anxiety so it's easier to clear my thoughts and feelings if I write them down instead of just trying to grasp one thought at a time and try to make sense of it. Processing things when they are abstract and not real is a pain. Better said it's easier when it's physical and I can see it. I guess I am more of a visual learner. It's easier to write notes and see it, but I need to make a better note system because mine can have gaps and that doesn't really work in my line of work lol. It's a process... I find it ironic how much I need writing in my life because I can be so bad about it. My spelling isn't the worst but it needs improvement and don't get me started on my grammer.
I use to write when I felt down or when I couldn't quite grasp things when I felt they were spiraling out of control but there's more to write than just the bad times. Even when times are good I need to take a moment and reflect on what's going on and take it all in. Ive learned, better said I'm learning, I have a very minimal control of the things around me, but I can control how I feel or react to things. Writing helps in this process and I'm getting better at it, kinda of. Progression isn't a straight positive sloped curve. It's messy and it can have its ups and downs, and negative trends.
Some, like me, can have misinterpretation of what this means. It doesn't mean you have to be go lucky and happy all the times. Life can hit you hard and believe me life hits very hard but you can't have those negative impacts dictate the rest of your life. Learn from the good and the bad.
There's so much to say but writing can fail in interpretating everything you want to say. It doesn't work if you can't articulate what you want to say. I guess that's fear getting in the way. Sometimes you got turn the handle and let it all flow out.
