Writing actual stuff again?
So I started a profile on Wattpad and typed up a book I started years and years ago. Totally unfinished. I stopped writing cause I could figure out what I wanted to happen next. Ever since I started the advocare 24 day challenge I have been trying to do more things that I used to do or start doing things that I always said I would get around to doing. I feel like this is a very daunting task ahead of me. I am worried that I just might not have the creativity that I used to have. Before I hit my rebellious stage of doing drugs and having sex I wrote from the heart. When I read back on them now I can see some of the inspiration and some of the puppy love teenage angst that fueled my words. Then years later after I started enjoying illegal substances I would write and write and write. It seemed the drugs helped open me up and help me find the right words to express my feelings. But now that I am sober I don't know if I can reach that level again. A part of me knows that it was all me and I just have to find a way to make it happen again. The other part of me wonders if it ever really was me. The words I wrote in the stage of my life still ring true and I can see myself in them, but I still wonder. If I had never started doing drugs would I have written the same things only in a different way. To my untrained eye they are great works of art and to my close friends they are too. Well at least that is what they told me when I read my poems to them. But what will the world think? Will I just stay this girl that likes to write or will I infiltrate the great minds of my day? I think I am going to try to find the book the artists way and see if it will help ignite the fire inside me again. Wish me luck.
