writing is my release

Writing has been my escape for a long time.  I am a talker, but I don't always want to talk, especially when there is a chance that I might get a little emotional.  My dad was a writer.  I thank God that that was one thing that I inherited from him.  I talk to him and other lost loved one a lot.  Not verbally, most of the time, but on paper or in my head.  I did, however, start a book of letters to Carter.  Nobody except for my best friend, Kristen, knows about the book (before now obviously). I have been angry with my dad for most of my life because of how he was and because of his absense, but I forgave him (we'll get into that story another time).  So I don't have a while lot to say to him.  That doesn't mean that I don't miss him though.  It just doesn't affect me like it does with Carter.  I have Tyler who it affects more than he leads on.  When it affects him, it affects me. 

Wow, I just got way off subject.

Anyway, I find that when I write to people or write my feelings down, that I can release some of the hurt, anger, and sadness that I feel.  I don't want everyone to know my feelings all of the time.  I generally keep my emotions about the loss of a loved one silent.  I feel like talking about it is pointless because it will not bring them back.  I know that writing won't either, but it is the most private or easiest release that I have.

I know that I haven't posted in over a month, but I am going to try to get better.  Mom and I have been extremely busy with orders and I have spent the majority of my time on Facebook and the other blog updating information and loading pictures.  But I have been feeling cluttered inside lately, and I need to release some tension that I have.
