To Write, or Not to Write?

I’m not a writer. I never have been. I’ve spent days dreaming of who I would be in the future, a person of success and happiness- With a college degree in one hand and the love of a lifetime from an unrealistic man in the other.

But, I’m not a writer. I never have been.

Writing isn’t just about being the best you can. Writing is about taking the words and dreams painted in your heart and making them come to life on paper. Writing gives us an opportunity to express ourselves in ways we may not have otherwise been able to.

Did you hear me? I’m not a writer. I never have been.

It helps distinguish the unkown and communicate things we never thought we could. We take a word, and give it weight... like the pounds of emptiness in our hearts alongside the walls of broken dreams in our aortic chambers.

Okay, stupid, I’m not a writer. I never have been.

Your right, I’m not. Your not. We’re not just writers, we’re people. We’re not stupid, we’re human. Humans with the power to write our own souls. People with dreams, broken ones and ones that will come to life. We’re  human beings with the need to belong, be loved, and to live. We live lives that deserve….to be written.

We are people. We are writers. We are Dreamers. But most importantly, we’re Human Beings... destined to be loved with a pen and paper in hand.

With love from a dreaming human,

Me
