If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad


The power of the pen has been known for years. In the 1800s Lord Byron wrote, "If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad." Diaries and journals have been kept for centuries. Some psychologists helped clients to heal psychologically by writing about their life experiences. Writing as a therapeutic outlet continues today to offer healing and solace for those willing to delve into their own psyche. In the Academy Award nominated movie "Precious," an abused 16-year-old sorts through her life's trauma at the urging of a teacher to write down her pain, feelings and abuse. Based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire, "Precious" wields a heart-wrenching truthful conclusion: writing nourishes the soul and powers from within. It is a good habit to keep writing, especially when you feel bad and can not say to other people. You can write down your feeling, later you can feel better.
