My life is crazy busy, every friend trying to meet up with me or trying to contact me knows that (and I am terribly sorry about that!).
But often my mind seems even crazier.
Too many things going on at the same time.
Too many impressions waiting to be processed.
Too many questions wanting to be answered.
Too many stories to tell.
Sometimes I just want it all to stop. To just press pause, process, and then move on.
I need to release some of the thoughts and processes bottled up within me, otherwise I explode.
So I write.
Thoughts come to my mind, frames are filled up with images.
Loose ideas turn into phrases, sentences.
My hands pick up these ideas and translate them onto this virtual piece of paper.
Now they are out there, my thoughts, ideas, fears, and dreams.
And I feel a little more structured and at peace.
But why do I click “publish”? Why do I allow people from all across the world to read my mind?
See a little bit of myself even though they don’t even know me?
Sometimes you have to release a bird to see if it can fly.
You have to release an idea, a thought, a dream, or even something you’re struggling with.
Because sometimes, it comes back to you. In the form of a comment, an email, a personal meet-up. There is people out there who had similar ideas, struggled with the same thoughts, or didn’t dare to voice their fears.
Releasing a piece of my mind, of my story, helped them to release a piece of their soul.
“You never know the true value your story carries until you see it in the eyes of someone else who really needed to hear that story” (borrowed from my very gifted friend Tyler).
So go, release a piece of your mind.
And wait for the piece that will come back to you.

Releasing a bit of my story today on Five Minute Friday by Lisa-Jo Baker! One word, five minutes of writing, no editing. And sharing with a wonderful community of fellow writers.

It does sometimes start with just a word, I am glad you share them anyway! Thanks for stopping by!
I relate! I have scraps of paper with thoughts, scriptures and just a word that are creating themselves into a blog post, an article or just a journal entry. And I (we all) share them, just in case one person needs to know that they are not alone in that situation or thought.
Great post. Thank you. God bless.
O yes, it is very important to keep that ONE in mind! Thanks for stopping by, Abby!
Great words. I know that even if one person gets something out of my writing, it's worth it. Thanks, and glad to find you today on FMF
Yes, there are powerful responses out there…Thanks for stopping by, Michelle!
This…YES, this:
“You have to release an idea, a thought, a dream, or even something you're struggling with.
Because sometimes, it comes back to you.”
Ahhh…and that is why I write…because it does come back…and it's developed some true momentum while out in the abyss…and when it comes back, it's ever more powerful!
Thank you for sharing your words, they are inspiring!
