Dear Heart

Do you ever talk to yourself? Sharing with you my letter to my heart which I posted in my Facebook page late last year. Dear Heart, You don't deserve to feel this way. I know how heavy this load is and funny how it really is unnecessary. I want you to breathe it out. It is okay not to be okay I was told. So I guess I won't mind if you would want me to cry. Should I shout out loud? I know you want me to look strong but showing weakness is okay. It would not make me lesser of a person. I promise it's okay. The world is unfair. We are victims. But we will get through this. Let us stay strong after we have poured out our weakness. HurtHeartofG (now known as Wrtings of G) Writing the letter helped me calm myself.

It's therapeutic. I once did the same thing on my computer's notepad. I saved it on my desktop so i could see the files every now and then. i didn't reread them. Once i felt that it was time to delete a file, it means i'm already okay with whatever i wrote on there. That was the nicest part. It took me a while to delete some of them but they're all gone now. I don't do journals anymore but once in a while i sit down and think about everything.

I have a notebook and I write there the things that are for my eyes only. That is really therapeutic.

True. Aside from temporarily escaping, I found relief in writing to myself.

Looks like a new way to burst out the stress. Really very motivating. You are telling yourself that you are there , what ever happens. So good.

Yes just like you, I also do talk to myself but I don't post it on facebook, I'd rather keep the conversation between me and myself only.

The one I shared above is the first and only conversation I posted on my FB page. I usually post my poems there.

I write to myself too. Writing has healing effect for me. I never read the letters again but they take the burden away the moment that I put my thoughts into letters.

@nottoooldtowrite It works very well for me. Writing our feelings is a good way to heal our heart if we can't talk about them to someone else.

Ok, we may also need to pat our back at times but not to the point that we get overly proud.
