Recently, I had been talking to a guy. Things slowly evolved and we got to know each more and more each day. But then things didn't work out, I won't bore you with the details, but let's say we are just friends.
So what did I start doing? I wrote.
I started writing about what we had experienced and before I knew it I had a new book idea.
I started writing about all of my breakups, exes, and relationship experiences. Now I have no doubt that this has been done a million times before, but I will say this. I find it very therapeutic.
It's an odd experience to put your past on paper like that and to look at it from a writer's perspective. Some of those are not the best experiences but for me, it feels really good to close some of those wounds.
It's interesting to see how far I've come as a person and see how much I've changed in how I handle some situations. Not many of us get to sit back and relive a life like that.
