For a while now, I have been going through a hard phase in my life, that normally I should shut down hive for atleast till I get my emotions back on check couple with the fact that hive is under going one of the hardest phase since I've I joined this space, but then I will always ask myself there are people here that keeps showing up despite whatever it is daily somehow they still believe in this space apart from that there is so much much positive sides to hive be it psychologically, emotionally and intellectually.
I started writing as young as I could remember because growing up I was very timid shy more of an introvert, so I found comfort in my papers, i wasn't outspoken so instead my writings became my confidant, a place were I pour my thoughts out on papers, communicate with my self without judgment or been laught at, I felt comfortable doing my little write ups, it's fun and comforting for me that way, so what I couldn't speak out I was okay to say it on papers, gradually I published my first book...
fast-forward to modern day, I stumbled on hive at the time I didn't really care about the earnings I just wanted a place I could write, I just knew writing was a thing for me, I just wanted to write and air my thoughts through the letters and that's how I began, over time it has helped me built consistency and that is incorporated into my daily routine such that I feel obligated to make a post everyday,
hive has somehow become a part of me over time , to me it's more like a regular job I must attend to whether I feel like it or not if I don't show up at my job I will be fired, this cuts over my feelings and emotions at the time, no matter how heart broken I am, I will keep that aside write something to post for that day then I can go back to feeling moody.
but what I have realise doing that over time has become part of me, so it helps me overcome certain emotional feelings, whether I'm feeling sad or depressed writing has a way of suppressing that feeling and helping me become better, like I can still construct my words carefully well without attaching any emotions to it and to me that is healing
indeed writing is therapeutic.
do you agree?
