Writing Embraces You.
therapeutic effects of writing and reading
When you are a child, you go to your mother for comfort, assurance that everything will be fine, and that you are precious and worthy of treasures.
You see, only a mother can say those magnificent words.
Some people go through the most difficult stages of life, such as losing their parents, so I believe that, while there is and will never be an alternative to MoM, writing or reading a piece that you can relate to can play the warm hands of mother.
There are times when there is nobody to listen to you, or others are busy building up their lives or competing with their own hardships, and you can write to vent out all the resentment, bitterness, or flood of emotions.
When you do that, there are people for whom writing is not their cup of tea, so they want to read (like me) and go through stuff, which plays the role of an active listener, inferring that they are not alone.
Writing is meditating
So, whenever I’m feeling down, I tell myself, “Our generation is pessimistic for no reason; perhaps there is a reason, but we don’t know how to figure it out.”
To all the people who use writing as therapy. I hope you get over it; you will, because you are the hope of someone you don’t even know out there, unintentionally bringing life back to those who are unhappy.
When you finish reading, you may notice a soothing effect or a smile on your face. Perhaps because you once travelled in a fantasy world where everything looked exactly like you and there was nothing harsh or threatening.
Writers are new therapists if writing heals.
