"We have access to our thoughts, but not always a full understanding of them"
I love this and everything that is included in it. I always know if I am happy or sad or just feeling whatever but rarely do I know the reasons behind it. Even if I think I know, I never truly know... until I write. Writing has some magic power that makes me understand the unknown. Sometimes we are completely aware of this power and "we're aftraid of what we'll discover". I find complete truth in this. I can't tell you how many times that I don't want to write in my journal because I am afraid of what will come out. Somehow if I don't say it, it isn't true. Writing can unlock so many things, both good and bad. I personally need to be comfortable with my feelings that come when I write.
I feel the same way! It's kind of scary not knowing what will come out when you write. You have all these ideas and feelings inside your head, but they could come out completely different on paper and not have the meaning that you wanted behind them.
ReplyDeleteI understand completely! Sometimes I don't write in my journal for days on end, because I really don't want my problems come out and have to face them. It can be scary what inside your own head!
