This time I spend writing is so good for me. It’s unbelievable how much clarity and peace it gives me. I think I’ve always been a writer - when I think of how many notebooks, etc. I found when I went through the office. I especially feel the need to scrawl when I’m feeling torn or conflicted or uncertain about stuff.

I think one thing I’ve learned from the Family course (a counselling course I took) is how blessed I am. That I should stop feeling bad about having a great life and just move on. Do something that fulfills me. Use what I’ve got to help others. Make a difference. Do things to make me feel proud. Do things to make me feel joy. I deserve to feel joy. I deserve happiness and so does every other person in the world.
