Writing-- You Need A Creative Outlet
Here's the tip: it's best with a pen or pencil - no keyboard!
Start with a letter. A good old fashioned letter, handwritten, mailed with a stamp. (Long distance telephone rates have dropped so much in recent years, and combined with the proliferation of e-mail, no one seems to be writing letters anymore.) There's something special that happens when you put pen to paper. Most of us know an aunt with a cardboard box filled with old letters, kept under a bed. I can't imagine years from now someone digging out a cardboard box filled with old e-mails. Write to a friend. Write to family member.
Try a poem. Or, if you play an instrument, write a song. If you can't see yourself writing a poem or a song, try a short story. Point is, you need a creative outlet. Writing is a great healer--don't under-estimate the power of putting words on a page.
Read too. Read horoscopes. Read short stories. Read a novel. Here's something to get you started--a very short story called The River--or a perspective on long lasting relationships.
Write to buy a T-shirt. Check out these "single word" T-shirts. It'll be a nice perk when it arrives in the mail.
