Hemingway

Hemingway once said, "Write hard and clear about what hurts".

Write about the feels that you may not feel it's ok to share, it is.
Write about the breaking that sold your soul to waterproof mascara.
Write about the hallways that you can't look down anymore, the slamming doors have jammed too many heart fingers for you to move past.
Write about the scarring words and the trials and the hurt and the pain.
The unfair professionals. The unjust lovers. The undermining schemes.

The insecurities that haunt you when the lights turn off.
The things that cause you to come undone.
The ones you go back to time and time again knowing that they will continue to let you down and yet you still love them with crumpled pieces.
The flaws you cannot overcome.
Write hard. Write clear. Write often.

and leave the hurt on the pages.
and experience more.
and be taught.
and learn.
and write.

and even when you stop hurting, you shouldn't stop writing.

Hemingway once said, "Write hard and clear about what hurts"
...but he deserves an amendment... also write about what frees you.

Write about the joy that overflows into dancing and jumping and screaming.
Write about the taste of a new spring after a long cold heartless winter. Focus on Spring.
Write about the stacks of books and kicked off shoes, the days the sun shines brighter then the darkest nights and the friends that stand by your side.
Write about the thousands of pages waiting before you.
The soft kisses. The salty air. The sleepy talks.

The safety you feel under your covers with your dog as your foot warmer.
The things that make you feel whole.
The people that know your heart better then you do sometimes and sing the song of your soul back to you when you don't remember how.
The smiles you cannot rid.
Write hard. Write clear. Write often.

and let the words envelop you.
and experience more.
and be taught.
and learn.
and love.
and write.

and even when you're overflowing. and even though you'll hurt again.
and even when you don't have words... You shouldn't stop writing.
