WANDERING OFTEN, WONDERING ALWAYS

I don't love writing. It's not cathartic, and it's not something I look forward to. Some days, I have to push myself to finish a piece; other days, I don't even try. I often find my most discontented self takes over in the process, and oftener, my words leave me embittered and overwhelmed.

But, words help me feel when people can't. Words teach me when knowledge doesn't. Words, they help me stay true to myself, when faith fails.

I sit down, and I type one word after another, until it's done. It's that easy, and it's that hard.

It is darkness and it is sunlight, all at once.
