A Little Ramble
I used to write every day on an old laptop that was my equivalent of a diary. Every time things seemed too big or too complicated for my frazzled teenage brain to deal with, I would write poems or letters or lyrics. Then later I would go back, read it through and feel exactly how I felt in that moment and understand myself and my emotions just a tiny but more than I did before. I went through a lot when I was younger and chose to deal with most of it through intoxication and creativity and I think after a while, the two became intertwined and I stopped being able to do one without the other. So, as I started spending more of my time sober and as I got older, writing became harder. Reading back what I had written before made me feel too much or scared because I felt nothing at all. Maybe it’s because being an angsty teenager you choose to embrace all the things you’re feeling and when bad things happen, or you react badly to things, it's ok because it's "hormones" and not mental health problems. Or I think that in some ways, drugs and alcohol made me more open with myself about how I was feeling and without them, I couldn’t reach that place that had always been so important to me.
