Today’s Pop Culture Lesson…
How many of us tie ourselves up in knots to be the person we think we’re supposed to be?
Writing rituals
Are writing rituals helpful? Sure. Sometimes. Unless they’re not. Confused? Y’see, the bottom line is this: if rituals help you write, use them. If not, experimenting might be fun. But don’t force it.
What if you broke free of all the shoulds?
Imagine how great we’d all feel and what could we accomplish if we weren’t obsessed with the number on the scale, our salary, our title, and the way we look in that photo our friend just posted on Facebook.
Walking the path
I have been dreaming a lot about paths. I do my best in given circumstances, but sometimes I fuck up, I fall down, and do things that aren't always good for me. But I keep writing and walking. The path is mine; I’m on the right road.
Start somewhere
We all learn by doing, and adjust as we go. And when it comes to rediscovering yourself, making changes, and making meaning in your life, it's a process. And you have to get moving.
“I’m afraid of what I’ll uncover if I start writing.”
Just because something is on the page doesn’t mean you have to act on it right away. You don’t have to do a damn thing with it at all if you don’t want to. But it’s still good. Cause you can work with the truth.
