fingertips on keys
because
it’s hard for me to speak
i write to keep
from living beneath
everything
inside of
me

I started writing to help navigate this life.
I didn’t start writing because I wanted to be a writer.
I became a writer because I needed to write.

You and I both know life is heavy.
And life is messy.

Most days I find myself searching for a moment of peace amid the constant chaos of living.

And writing helps me take that first deep breath.

After spilling all that is bottled up within life becomes more bearable.

Writing helps me find peace from moment to moment, from day to day, from now until then.

I write to keep from living beneath everything inside of me.

If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot.

What helps you keep from living beneath everything inside of you?
