Work in Progress

You oughta hear the mirror in my house You oughta fear her pretty, pretty mouth Says I’m imperfect in every way: “Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway”/...But I’m gonna burn, I’m gonna shine and multiply I’m gonna fill up the great divide You’ll never break me with all the things you say “Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway”

I'm back.

And it's wonderful.
I'm writing again. Really writing again thanks to this blog.
I haven't felt the need to write since about the sixth grade.
I gave up on it. I hated anything I did write, with the exception of one single poem.
Since I've starting blogging,
it's become my release.
I can't go on with a thought in my mind until I write it out of me.
Literally.
It's like a pensieve.
Every emotion that I don't want hanging around, I need to release.
I think that's why most of my blogs aren't happy ones...
When I'm happy, I tend to write a little less, because it's something I'm ok with.
When I'm upset, I need to get it out...I can't remain that way, it needs to be released. I usually tend to write a lot more when this is the case.
And I usually tend to reach my epitomes and breaking points while writing.
Shortly thereafter...I'm usually close to ok.
And last night, after I heard that quote in the movie...and started thinking...I got this insane urge to start writing. I haven't done that since the age of twelve.
Throughout the whole movie, that's all I could think of.
That quote. The start of my thought process. The need to write it down and actually go somewhere with it.
The *second* I was back in my room, that's exactly what I did. For an hour. Wrote out an entire train of thought.
And, unlike everything else I used to write, I was really pleased with myself afterwards.
I read over it a few times, and actually liked it, and didn't mind the fact that other people would be reading it.
Kristina has told me twice now I should write songs.
Well...I don't know about that...as I don't sing, nor do I have the desire to, nor am I good at creating melodies, song writing would be...slightly pointless.
I'm fine with long, written out trains of thought.
Heck, I love long, written out trains of thought.
It's just exciting to revive something that I figured I'd never be able to pick up again.
