Writing Helps Close Wounds

Even if it seems like what we’re writing doesn’t make sense, by writing without filters, we’ll let all our thoughts out and we can come back to them in the future.

Writing helps me to express everything that goes on inside me. The pain, the disappointment, the sadness, the anguish…

I know it is just a mere app, but it becomes so liberating that I can’t help but do it.

Has this already happened to you? Does writing serve you as a way to vent? the act of typing that turns into what your inside screams out. Words that go by telling stories that are left behind…

Write About Emotions

Almost everyone needs to vent, say what they feel, talk about what happens to them. However, writing is not the same as talking.

When you start to cover that “blank sheet” with thoughts that crowd your brain, everything starts to make sense.

Don’t forget that when we’re down and the world comes crashing down on us, we’re plunged into chaos that’s nearly impossible to get out of.

The wide variety of emotions that appear and make us assume and worry excessively, that liberating cry, but that does not satisfy us entirely…

Writing not only helps you put those disastrous ideas on “paper”, but it also allows you to sort them out, give them meaning you never thought you could find.

Think, for example, that you are going through a very painful stage in your love relationship.

You are not able to know what happens to you. You just feel your despair, you end up filled with anxiety and doubts. What’s happening to me? Write…

Once all the words are on the paper, you can read them as many times as you need. Then you will find out what was really going on.

You may find that you are suffering from emotional dependency, that you are accepting a situation that you don’t like, that you are with someone you don’t want to be with.

These written thoughts will reveal the crudest of realities. However, thanks to them, you will be able to find a way back to calm.
