Weekly Inspiration: Thoughts, memories

Normally, when I think of the things, situations or people that are inspiring me I try to focus on the positive, the lovely, the blessings. This week it's not only good memories that are inspiring me, but bad memories and thoughts are also my fuel.

That's the push behind expressing my thoughts and getting back to a way of releasing some of the poetic, tortured contemplations that happen within my brain. There are times that those thoughts make way for inspiring, positive and equally poetic musings, but - as many artists (written, visual, etc.) - realize the creative bunch of us are often fueled by emotionally charged feelings.

Now, the reason the not-so-positive memories and thoughts are fueling me is because I want to remember what has happened over the past two years and the past month. Some of the pain and emotional hurt that I have felt needs to be released. The pain hurts my health, my heart and my life and trickles over into every activity, word and interaction that I have. There aren't any more tears that I wish to unleash.

There are times when the tears flow without my permission. When a thought triggers a pain I can not control. I hope to use that pain to fuel creativity, ideas and some type of positive release.

That is what's inspiring me this week.

i know it sucks to have the not so positive things in our lives, but without them how are we going to know what is positive. your writing is incredible and i know that you will be able to turn it into a positive writing. if what you write about helps even 1 person in similar circumstances that is a positive, right?

have a wonderful day my dear friend, much love to you!

I know times aren't always sunshine and rainbows but all our experiences helps us to learn and grow into the best version of ourselves we can possibly be. That you're already transferring these feelings into something creative shows you are well on your way to your 'new you' Congrats on making it! Mwah!

By all means use the negative feelings for something worthwhile and positive (and creative). Otherwise its just something negative. Also let the negative things show you how good the positive things are.
