Writing is an emotion

“Everyday marks a new beginning.”

Sadness is an emotion. One that ninety nine percent of humanity has felt and been consumed by. In our day and age, sadness has lead to suicide and drug addiction as it has in the past as well. The coined term biological depression is a term that links biology to an emotion that in our minds. But I think the way a person is brought up affects the amount and scope of depression they go through. However, applying it to a hobby is only natural. It is like applying happiness to sex or masturbation.

The hard truth about writing is that it an all consuming and passionate hobby. Writing will inflict numerous variants of emotions and sadly..sadness is not one to be missed. If you talk to others in a creative field, you will find at least one or two that will admit to “covering dark and tough topics that you didn’t expect from them.” Emotions are a necessity in art. Thus, it is expected that we as creates consume them as well. I can agree that my eyes watered up at scenes and writing that my fingers have typed out. These tears are sadness for my writing but is relief at the same time. I am sad due to the content, not from the process. Once the words are in the page my tears are quick to dry and I become satisfied with what is left.

“Does writing make you sad? If it does, does that mean you’re doing something wrong?

I would like to tell you the hard truth about writing. If you talk to anyone in a creative field you will find at least one or two works which cover dark and tough topics that you didn’t expect from them. These topics are realities of life. When writing about these topics it can bring tears to your eyes, and hurt within your mind. There are days…even now when I can feel my internal pulse making me sad because I have not written. But then I hit the blank page and I start spewing out the hardest and most tragic events in my life and then the tears hit again. However, Once these words are on the page..I can feel relief and happiness.

Everyone has bad days in the world. The days we can’t get ourselves out of bed because we are sad, stressed, anxious, and overall tired. Our day looks like work and we don’t want it. On these days roaming social media and sitting in bed sounds far better than dealing with reality. I hate to burst the bubble, but we all have issues and often we fight like this to either maintain them or figure them out. We need to stand up for one another instead of getting mad at one another. Love over anger will always prevail.

“ We need to stand up for one another instead of getting mad at one another. Love over anger will always prevail. Silence is dangerous but only before an explosion. Or if I want to be poetic with that phrase it could be ‘Silence is dangerous only right before the dawn’. Anyone who has written will say writing has given me joy. But it doesn’t always bring joy right away. It is a sleeper if you will at times. You may not realize you need the words. You may not realize you need other people and the words on the page may teach you that you do. No matter the outcome, writing will elevate you to realize where you stand, and how you want to feel. Sometimes I am deafeningly sad. All I can see is blue and all I can do is be blue. It takes writing to realize why I am sad, and how to relinquish the problem or to resolve an issue with my own inner demon.”

Thus writing becomes an emotion to the human mind that needs release.
