What do you enjoy most about writing?

My enjoyment of writing comes from putting my thoughts down and onto paper, or a screen, however it’s done. Wherever they are released, it feels cathartic. An unloading of the random, unravelling of events, emotions, stories that maybe real, or maybe a result of my mind creating scenarios that could, may, or won’t happen.

When your brain is so full, most of the time. An intricate, intertwined ball of thoughts that benefit from being extracted, pulled apart and left on the page, to make space. Make room for the never ending supply of new worries, thoughts, ideas, stories.

Because they never stop, it doesn’t cease.

So I write to off load and for a while it helps. For a moment, It brings peace. A restful mind.

There are times I wish I could take my thoughts out. Put them in a box, pack them up, leave them on the side and allow myself a few hours to switch off, completely. That is when I write because it is almost like opening that box on the side, putting my thoughts inside, and closing it up for a short while. Finding some moments for peace, before the tsunami of thoughts starts again.

Writing helps me to find peace and refuge from an overthinking mind and the process of writing down my thoughts, gives me release. A cathartic release.
