A writer who is depressed.
A writer struggling with personal issues.
A writer trying to find some meaning in this world.
Do these sound familiar?
I can relate to all of the above issues. The writing process for me serves several purposes: it gives my life a focus, it conjours up colours when my outlook seems bland, and it makes me feel anchored.
The things which I have experienced recently-broken relationships and the death of a friend-really made me question my worth and my state of mind.
In life, there are bound to be lows in the midst of highs. So, while I am making so much progress in my writing journey, I still feel very disconnected about several things: I haven’t slept properly or worked out since my friend died in March this year. I will take ownership of this situation and try to remedy it, so that my physical health doesn’t suffer.
I just wanted to give some insight on how much value I attach to writing in general and this blog in particular. I have so many writing goals which I hope to achieve, and I pray that they all come to pass.
For now though, the significance of this blog to me as a means of self-expression cannot be overemphasized.
As always, thanks for reading.

Hopefully your loss can also provide you with strength to channel all what you’ve gone through into some good writing? Be well!

I agree, writing for me has become a healing mechanism. Writing down all my emotions into a poem, short story or even into a novel has been life changing. You can check out a couple of my blogs @ https://funemploymentrate.com
