Its been a while since I've written. I used to think that was a bad thing-to have so much time apart between journal entries, writing, etc. Now, I don't think that as much. As I look back on my previous entries, its clear the times that I began writing on impulse and the times that I made myself write because I vowed to pursue it. Why did I want such a personal thing to become routine? The meaning of the word personal is to think or do things because of your own wants and no one else's. If it takes me another year before I write again, so what? That's because of me - because of what I want.

I'm learning to be free. To be free in this world and to swallow it whole - enjoying every precious moment that is never the same as the last. Humans are constantly evolving and we will never be the same as were moments ago. A movie I recently watched explored the thought that maybe we have felt every emotion we are ever going to feel. As we go on, those emotions will either be heightened or lessened, but essentially, they will all be the same. I don't think that is true, at least not for everyone. We have yet to experience love, death, new life, heartbreak, bliss...

Life is so beautiful. Shitty, but beautiful.

Great post! In my experience, writing things like this one is freeing all in it's own. Letting it pour from you. Being free is one of the greatest virtues in life and I believe doing things for yourself is important. It's good that you don't force yourself to write. I might do that a little to much. When you're inspired and just let your fingers fly across the keyboard is definitely when it's most fun, inspiring and well... freeing. Life certainly is full of twists and turns, but if you take a step back, it truly is beautiful. Keep writing, even if it's just little bits.

It's a great mindset. Stick with it. ;)

Thank you so much for your review, Annaclare! I'm glad that you like and understand my style of writing. I guess you're right, it is very blunt. I hope that you will take the time to review some of my other pieces as I post them in the future. Thanks again!

Hello there,

donizback here, for a review. Welcome to YWS :) Hope you enjoy a lot here and improve too :D

Well may I know what really were you thinking to write about? May be I am the one who did not clearly understand it.

As much I could identify, your essay got a couple, or even more, ideas in it. You could have have written a separate essay for those.

I would not pick out any sentence and correct it; since I am not an expert. But writing should be easy to understand :)

Hope you get my point. Do keep writing in the future. Looking forward to your next work.

Cheers,

I understand what you're saying, but my style of writing is very ambiguous. I like to write about what's on my mind at that moment and let the reader interpret and apply it to their life in whatever way they want. Maybe you could read it again with a more open mind and feel what it says to you. Thank you so much for your review and I would love to hear back from you.

Sure sure. I shall read it again. I know it is great; it is just that I felt you mixed 2 or more ideas into one part of your work. Keep writing. I am waiting for your next work :)
