Dream is Back
I'm done following the path of rage. I just don't have anything to be angry about anymore. I will always have my issues with the you-know-who's but what can I really do about it? It's not like I can actually do something to make things better. People are people and you can't change them as you like. Yeah, I still don't trust a lot of people but I'm giving it a shot. God only knows, I've left myself vulnerable a couple of times and when I couldn't take it anymore, there have been those who were willing to listen at least. I guess humanity's not all bad. Maybe there's hope for me yet. I dunno, I've spent a lot of time scrutinizing about how people never change and how pointless it was to be a "good" person but now maybe it's okay for me to believe in people again. I have my issues with people like I said... but it's not like I can change them so might as well change how I perceive them right?
I've been bitten by the bug again lately. The itch, as Berk and I aptly put it. I find myself staying up later during the night in order to write. I seemed to fall apart when I tried writing stories again because my mind was clouded with rage and despair but now, it's becoming clear again. I can write the way I used to and more. I admit that I began to entertain the notion that I can only write when I'm angry or depressed and that it was nothing more but once my dark clouds have cleared I see the basics again. I just want to.
There was this quote I heard in Sister Act that struck me. "If you wake up in the morning and the first thing you think about is writing. You're a writer. You don't need no proof or anything, it's just that. You're born to be a writer" Tch, that don't beat all. Maybe I can be a writer if I want to be or maybe not but that will not keep me from writing. My soul is in what I write so I have to give it my best. Be it out of rage, sadness or the thrill of it, it's something I've grown to love as well as need.
Summer ends in 6 days...
