Writing Away
(Written between 3 3:30 AM, and posted @ 4:20 AMj
As I sit here around 3 AM in the morning, not because I cannot sleep, but in the need to write because I want to, I have to admit that I have spent the last one hour or so remembering some past memories of my first two fur babies who were cats named Emilee and Bing, and my two recent cats Magic and Millie. This is WHY I write in a diary today. I have to get what is on my mind, out in the open, in words in a diary. I find a program Pages on my iPad, phone extremely helpful to write what I NEED to write throughout my day and night or whatever hour or minute to relieve my thoughts. This is one great reason to have a piece of paper, a phone or any other electronic tool nearby to write and keep my thoughts, feelings, and what is happening. I never know when I will need to write something. Sometimes I think these moments can be frightening, crucial, encouraging, enlightening and cruel at the same time. It expels at anytime and sometimes I think I literally hate it because I want to have some more sleep, and this is what a writer/author might deal with on a job assignment that is due by a certain/any time of the day. It is a never ending process/cycle of my life today, and as of yesterday I say I have a job now that does give me monetary benefit but the satisfaction of being an author to my life and times today.

Writing in all kinds of journals is a deep form of therapy. I'm glad you have several outlets to get those thoughts out of your head and into some kind of journal!
Amen to that thought, yes! I am glad SB has made it possible and for $3.99 a month and $39.99 a year, he has made it possible on-line today. I love it here and find the cost a month or year worth it to have as many diaries I want/can have. Been a member since 2001 when SB and another gentleman created DD. This Dear Diary website has been my home and avenue since then and I have not regretted it ever since. There are people who either understand and been there or know writing is a form of release and relief for a wanna-be diarist(s) like us.
With that said, quite a mouthful and paragraph, I have to say that there are people out there all over the world who do not understand or even care about people like us, too. That’s a bit frightening sometimes, too! This is how the cookie crumbles at times as well, too.
