When life gets crazy... A diamond in the rough

So, I am just sitting around being bored, reflecting on this summer. I realize that this has been one of the most stressful summers of my life. No, I take that back, this has been the worst summer of my life. However, there was plenty good to come of it. I got to experience what a week in jail is like, I was able to get out of a dead end abusive relationship, I met some awesome new friends, we were able to launch the new version of Poetrywithmeaning.com, I got a great new home, I am dating an amazing woman, and the list can go on. All in all, this summer was crazy.

This brings me to my next point, when everything is crazy, I write amazing poetry. I find that when nothing goes right, your emotions come out. When your emotions come out, you can write amazing poetry. This is because your emotions spill onto the paper and the end result is sincere, beautiful, honest… I do not encourage you to make your life crazy but when it happens, and it will, be sure to write!

    I second this my friend, well said. Going through almost 3 months with no job, being broke, bills racking up, etc. Things are really stressful, but thank God we can write.
