One of these that I wrote was about my grandfather who passed away two years ago, when he first died I didn’t know how to cope nor could I handle how I felt and I still think I can’t. Writing how I felt about his death while my birthday was approaching was very therapeutic for me as well as I showed it to my mom and she loved it. The other one I wrote was from a day where I woke up in the morning and had so much on my mind so I wrote.. that was my first time writing poetry. It is longer than I anticipated but my mom and my sister enjoyed that and said I should keep writing. Don’t get me wrong I was skeptical at first I didn’t believe that I had a “gift” or that what I was writing moved people until I showed my poetry to my friends and they agreed with my family. I often doubt myself and think I am not capable but I know I am. I haven’t wrote in a while simply because sometimes I don’t know how to put everything going on in my head or every emotional I feel onto a piece of paper but I know for a fact i’ll get back to it.

To me (specifically writing) creativity means being able to let go and express yourself, especially when you feel like you can’t. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining how I feel or what I think & writing is a great and positive way for me to be free to share how I feel without judgement.
