Atalie Boyce Period:3

“Writing often means facing your own darkness and light.” This caught my attention and really spoke to me because of how it was worded it was like a song, very poetic. The way she writes about how important writing is and what it truly means and does for us is inspiring to me and motivates me to write more and open my heart up with no fears. “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.” That’s beautiful to read I have learned out of experience that when there is no one to talk to when you are upset that writing can take every bit of sorrow, fear, anger out of your body and release it into a book you choose to open and shut. It’s the way she shows that it is a story to tell from our soul that is raw and truly us which is super gorgeous to think about, its true though I let out me, the true me with no worries or care about who is reading our thinking about it, it’s my time to be set free like meditating. The pictures that she has with some of the quotes are so relaxing and stunning to look at and it fits so well with the quote they have chosen. The way she writes is passionate and makes you passionate its talent. “Perhaps we are afraid of writing because we’re afraid of knowing our own story.” Speechless is all I can say, I really liked reading this. It made me more excited to write and express myself through my writings.
