When it comes to writing, I am trying to be less fearful about sharing what i’ve written. Sometimes I don’t want to upset people with an unpleasant past or offend them or turn them off, driving them away; thinking I’m a weirdo. I think I am at a point where other people’s opinions stop being important. Its about using writing to come to terms with the past and possibly help someone else, a creative outlet for the things I can’t say out loud. It’s a journey and a gift as well. So what I’m saying is that if you like my writing, great. If you don’t then that’s fine too. All that matters is that I am proud of my writing and the things I have posted so far. I will continue to write regardless of the positive or negative ( silent) reaction I may face, including this post
The fear of sharing my writing
Published by revolutionarymusings
Hello, my name is Dave. I love to write, it is my passion, I try to be vulnerable and honest in all of my posts. I hope to use writing to make a difference in the lives of others and help myself in the process; this blog has been very therapeutic and I can't believe I never took the time to write in the " about me" section. I am not a professional writer but it would be a dream of mine to be published. Please take the time to read this blog and feel free to comment anytime. View all posts by revolutionarymusings

Hey… 👋🏻 there with you. If i kept half what i think i would drive myself back to sickness. I am. I was. I always will be a cyclone. A storm brewing is never calm but always refreshing because who doesn’t like the smell of rain when the sun warms the soul? 🤗💙🕊🎶🎶

Don’t know who you are but I hear a heart beat faster than my own. If i kept half what i think to myself, i would drive myself back to sickness. I am. I was. I always will be a cyclone. A storm brewing is never calm but always refreshing because who doesn’t like the smell of rain when the sun warms the soul?
Someone read my mind and wrote down the words. I recognize the spellings. Perhaps off a vowel or two. Maybe i am missing some consonants but i am ready to embrace the “me” who was afraid if their shadow. Bring the sun in and let your face shine. Some one will find us beautiful!!

Free to be you, is the best thing you can ever do. It’s liberating! Everyone will not accept you but it’s okay. Remember they are entitled to feel and think as they please, just as you are. Freely writing is the only way. My love, from one blogger to another.

Hey you’re so amazing and strong. I couldn’t even get past the stage. It crippled me and I can’t get out of it. I wish writing could be a safe place for me. But right now it just seems like it isn’t.

Thank you so much. Not everyone is ready to share their writings; it’s not an easy thing to share with an audience. Hopefully you will when you’re ready
