Writing. A way to express your inner-feelings or that little place in all of us that we may refer to as a soul. Feelings of hurt, dread, acceptance and understanding run deep in a writer’s soul.

Expressing those feelings in a raw manner is never easy for anyone let alone a true writer. Writing can take the pain, the words curling around the emotions hoping to hold it in or make sense of it all.

Having someone leave your life after sharing so much of it is painful. So painful that only words and an ever-flowing set of words curling into a story can help the writer’s soul comprehend the overwhelming feelings of loss.

Harnessing the power of pain and then welding that power into a semblance of acceptance through understanding is the driving force of many writers.
