I get it. Sometimes I wonder “why I keep dipping my pen in the inkwell of pain” (a line from one of my poems). I get tired of going back to all the garbage and pain of the past but without that what would I write about?
Hi!! I’ve written in depth in my personal poems and journal entries about not knowing who I am without the pain and my addiction to it. I was scared for a long time that without it, I’d be less interesting.
You are worthy of writing about your pain, but also your joy and your healing. You are just as interesting now as you will be when you have gotten to a comfortable place in your healing journey. Healing is linear and never ends, and that’s ok. Pain is human but so is joy. I don’t know you but I love you and you’re worth the space you take up in all your forms <3
