I needed to read your words this morning. You vocalised a feeling I have been struggling with for some time. Why I can't move on, past certain behaviours and then suddenly after reading your email this morning it is like a light bulb turning on. I am too comfortable in the darkness, as it is all I have known for so long. Being "happy" is a very unsettling feeling as I am always waiting for the drop. Just recognising it has helped. I also fear losing the creative muse as pain makes for the best words and paintings but I believe we find inspiration in different ways, through different experiences and think that it might be less about letting go of one or embracing the other and more about learning to accept the dark whilst letting the light in. Healing is acceptance, at least it feels like that for me. Good luck in your journey. Your words are beautiful and far reaching. Creativity is an intangible thing, fluid and ever changing. I hope your words change with you and flow between light and dark.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind and thoughtful comment, and I'm really so pleased the words could help - even in the tiniest of ways. Thank you, always
I surely enjoy everything you write and am always overwhelmed by how much I can relate to the feelings you describe. But I truly hope you will be able to heal and pain will no longer be your main source of inspiration.
In my comment last week I already said something like “whatever you decide to share in the future and in whatever form it may be - it will be good”, because I believe you are an incredibly talented and creative person. You will always find a way to create something meaningful if it is your wish to do so. And if it’s not - don’t be afraid to let anybody down. We are all struggling down here, but if one can make it to the surface, then take that chance! 🤗
I understand this fear so well. There are so many unknowns to healing. You are so tremendously talented, the muse may change but that doesn’t have to mean words disappear. I must tell you this, if you allowed yourself the chance to find happiness, and if that meant your ink ran dry, I’d surely miss your words but nothing is more important than you living a beautiful life, full of love and happiness, that can be your purpose too. If your heart sings again, let it.😊💙💙💙
I definetly feel the same, like you. What will be after healing? But you know what? Happiness has to come! And you will probably write some happy poems, and we will be glad to read it witg happiness in our heart ♥
Thank you very much Blake, for helping me find meaning through the pain.
You'll forever remain my 'all time best poet'.
🙏💙💙💙
Thank you so much

That's such a lovely comment, thank you. It means a lot to me to know that, and I'm very humbled (and grateful) to have such kind, supportive readers

Thank you Amy, as always. I don't think I'll be going anywhere anytime soon, but it means the world to know I have such wonderful support x
