Ever since, I was a young girl, I have always used writing as a healing tool. Writing poetry that expressed my deepest feelings. Often it had been ones of negativity. Much of my poetry was very, very dark when I was younger. That changed when I realized, you can only change the world my changing yourself and your points if view.

Now, I try to inspire and give people hope with my writing. Over the years, it has been clear, through everything that I write, that I wish to help educate, inspire and giving hope to others. And, I try to do it in a positive way.

Life isn't easy for anyone. Throughout all of my schooling and training over the years, I have learned one very important thing, Writing does help people heal. Writing is a great outline for strong emotions. You can take out all of your anger and frustration with a pen and paper. Tear the paper to shreds and feel much better when it is all sad and done.

You can say things on paper that you would never say to a person to their face. They never have to know what you wrote down. Because you wrote those words down and got it out of your system, you feel much better. In this way you heal. Because the words were said, just on paper.

Writing can help you heal in so may beautiful ways. Our souls have so much to say. If you choose to or not, sharing your soul words can bring help, hope and joy to others. Share if you wish. If not, never stop writing. It heals you in ways you may not know.

Writing can also help you gain a much better understanding of yourself.

Healing can be achieved through the act of writing.

Breaking free from pain can be achieved through writing.

The realness of the word on paper is enhanced by seeing it written on paper.

Writing is a way of letting go of all the pain that is holding inside.

Writing is a means of letting go of your past.

There is something about writing that makes people feel like they don't have anything to cover up.

In fact, there are many people who write every day.

Just because someone writes something down on paper doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

It's not necessary for them to share those emotions with someone else.

In this way and many others, writing helps us heal.

Absolutely! Writing can indeed be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery. Whether it's journaling, poetry, or simply expressing thoughts and emotions, putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) can help individuals process their experiences, understand themselves better, and find relief from emotional pain. Writing allows people to explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe and private space, free from judgment or interruption. It can also serve as a form of catharsis, enabling individuals to release pent-up emotions and move forward with greater clarity and resilience. Moreover, the act of writing itself can be empowering, as it gives individuals a sense of agency and control over their narratives. So, yes, writing can indeed be a powerful tool for healing and personal growth.
