Alysann Flower Period 5

While reading Sarah Peck's letter I truly loved what she had to say about writing.  The way she wrote it just reached out to you like she was giving you one on one advice about your life and writing.  I loved when she wrote, "What keeps me coming back to my practices, however, is that this is the place where I’m allowed to think what I think, write what I want to write, and tell the stories no matter how fantastical or horrible they might feel."  I agree with this so much.  Writing is the one place where no matter what, we can brutally honest and no one will judge us for what we have to say.  Writing is where I let my emotions go and just write what I'm feeling.  Sarah say's this beautifully when she writes, " Writing is a spiritual practice, a soul-cleansing, deep-dive into the emotions and ideas we might not even be at first aware that we have."  As I write and let my emotions go, I learn the truths to those emotions and what is truly bugging me or making me happy.  Writing lets me explore myself and my thoughts that wouldn't be possible without the rawness that writing allows me to have.
