Write to Understand
Not to be Understood
Many times we can’t make sense of all the crap that is thrown at us. It all seems to come down on us at once. While you’re in the middle of it all, it seems hard to pull yourself out. But at the end of the day, by writing it all down, something interesting happens.
It’s almost as if by writing it down, you experience the bad things from outside of yourself. They lose that power over you, the power to overwhelm you. You start to think clearer and wonder why you were ever freaking out in the first place.
But when you write online, sometimes you think that people will automatically just understand you, how special you are and how much you actually deserve praise and recognition. But the problem is everyone has their own crap to deal with. They aren’t thinking about you, they aren’t worried about you. They just need their own problems solved, and if you help them do that, they will reward you with their attention.
Sometimes they just need to be entertained, sometimes they need to be taught, sometimes they just need to be listened to. So write something that shows you’re actually listening to them, and then they’ll reward you for doing so.
Until Tomorrow,
