…how about you?

For years I have wanted to write a book. For years I have talked about it….mostly to myself. The last year though, I have spoken it out loud. I may not be able to accomplish the goal of 50k words for the month of November but I am trying. Either way, having it written down is better than not doing anything at all. I chose to hand write my book in a composition book. For one, I can take it with me wherever I go. 2nd, there are no batteries to go dead and stop your daily writing. 3rd….I honestly believe hand writing it all out helps make it more real. I can also go back and jot things in as I recall things.

Even if no one but me reads my book, it is still a win for me. Writing is therapeutic to me. Writing makes me happy.

As I have been writing my story, it has helped me leave old memories behind. Writing this book is like making peace with all of the things that have bothered me over the years. When you are an introvert, not many know your past….many assume things about your life…many are clueless as to how you developed the beliefs you have. I hope that this book will make people question happenings in their own lives, accept that they happened and move on…leave them behind. I don’t think it is necessary to analyze things to death. Your brain does not know what is true and what isn’t..so why not write your story and then let it all go. For those things that upset you, harmed you, made you question going on…maybe re-write that part of your story and move on? Does your brain really need to know what is TRUTH? Your brain believes what you think…so re-think an ending to those parts of your life that bother you. People say you cannot undo the past….but maybe you can re-write it.

Peace out homies….
