I Write For Myself But Let Me Know If I Can Help You

I started writing when I was 10. Mostly, because it was another thing my then therapist recommended. I started writing because for me it was a coping mechanism. I used to write and burn the paper as a way of letting my emotions out and letting them fade. I don't burn what I write anymore; I keep them just to look back on it later.

I have times where I have no idea what to write about; other times I feel like I could write about anything. I have always thought that writing is a beautiful art. There are so many times of writing.

Personally, I do this and poetry and maybe the occasional short stories. I think it's an excellent way to stimulate creativity and let your brain relax. I recommend it to anybody who feels like their trapped in their head.

Write anything you have on your mind.

It doesn't have to make sense, you don't have to show anyone, and you don't have to talk if you don't feel like it. I am not sure how many people read my articles, but I hope it helps even a little bit. In a sense, I am thinking of making this a place where I can write about what I want and also getting people to tell me what they'd like to read.

However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
