Flushing

Hello Sweetness,

The grandest thing about writing with pen and paper is the 'flushing' effect it has on the brain. You write your problems out.

You see it clearly in front of you and things just flow. Because you're working things out with your hands and your eyes.

And that, my love, is the reason why I'm still here, mostly sane. Because I'm done with overthinking!

I'll let you in  on a secret...

I have a burn book. I use it to work stuff out, build myself up and talk myself down from ledges of anger. The book is never to be reread. It's for burning.

The thing is, my love... You have a big beautiful brain full of hope, joy and wonder. It's for ideas, dreams, loving and living,

Your brain is not a place to store problems!

Yours joyfully
