WRITING: Release

I don't know where to begin.It's 3 pm and I'm seated typing this out. Do you ever feel like you just can't get something right? I know I normally post about looking at the brighter side of things. This time around, I feel down. I thought of going out for a walk to clear my head but I'm down with a terrible cold. Could it get any worse? It looks like writing was my net best option.

Any chance you know of Post Secret? Well, it's a website where people's secrets are posted anonymously. I read it every Sunday. This is how it works, all you have to do is send in your secret as a post card and it gets published. I think there's now an app too. That aside, I feel like there is some sort of release in sharing secrets this way. I believe the beauty lies in the fact that your inner most secret has been shared but you are still concealed by the anonymity it Post Secret gives you.

Many times I tell people about Post Secret and I'm almost always asked if I've sent in a secret of my own. No, I have not. Maybe one of these days I'll get my lazy self to the post office and send in a secret of my own. The thing is, often times I see myself in the secrets posted by others. II think I've kind of lost track of where this post is going. Nonetheless, I shall continue to write and see where it's heading.

Got it! I think  I'll just get into what prompted me to write in the first place. I don't know but I think is some sort of a release for me. Other than the information I have provided to you in my posts, I'd say I'm still consoled by the fact that you don't know me after all. Apparently, there something in sharing a secret or any other thought when you know that you are concealed in a way. There's some sort of comfort in that.

As I was saying, before I drifted off yet again. I went to bed in a funk and woke up hardly feeling any better. My cold might just have a role to play in my  current disposition. Call me whiny but I feel like I'm drifting from the people closest to me. Wait, maybe I should say we are drifting from each other. It's one of those stories of a really good group of friends who slowly start to grow apart from each other. Last night didn't help in the least as there was some disagreement. Imagine, on my friend's birthday of all days. I don't know just how much I should let out but I feel this is okay for now. If I feel the need to release again, I'll be back :) I just made myself smile, that's a good thing I guess.

Looks like I might just go for that walk after all.
