“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.” — Anne Frank
There’s always a good reason to write. I think one of the greatest reasons to write is when I feel completely out of control. I don’t write to gain control; I write to find my calm in the chaos. It took some time for me to find my calm. I think—and I’m not committed to this—but I think that writing has become my anchor. When I need my little heart to be still, I write. And so that’s why I liked this quote for tonight. I like it because I can completely relate. I think how I feel in this world matters more than all the things I can’t control. When I say how I feel, I mean the way I allow myself to feel my way through things. Not placing blind faith in my feelings, but listening to what they are trying to tell me and going from there.
Can you relate to Anne Frank’s quote?
