The Reason Why I Write

A few months ago I reunited with an old friend. It was crazy. I was at one of my old hangouts that day when she came to town. I hadn't seen that friend in over five years. Well, we started talking about how she started writing a blog about her 'top 35 things to do before 35.' She said that if we wrote it on a blog that we would make each other more responsible about our dreams and making them a reality. I agreed so I wrote mine. It was empowering. We read each other's. We gave each other encouragement about making our dreams a reality because some of the 'things' were things we had to overcome some fears to do.

Then something else happened. I got addicted to writing in my blog. I felt like I had something to say. For once in my life I felt what I had to say mattered. We often go through life like we don't matter. I wrote for me. My blog is to get my thoughts and dreams out of my head and make it tangible for everyone to see. It's crazy. I didn't write it for others. However, if it helps someone else to know that they are not alone in their thoughts and feelings, I am becoming a vessel. I am a Divine vessel. As this vessel I can show how great the Divine is if we believe and trust in something that is bigger than us. Sometimes our ego gets in the way and we think our current state will be permanent. Nothing is permanent. It does not have to be. As the old saying goes, "The only constant is change."

We can change our current state by changing our perspective. For if our current state is not where we want it to be, change your attitude and start doing better for yourself. It's alright sometimes to ask for help. The Divine is always listening and always answers your prayers. Don't forget to be patient because the Divine works on Divine time, not yours. Again, be patient and let the Divine work as needed. Trust in the Divine for what you need. That's what I've been doing with this blog. Every day I write, and I begin to see me for what I am. That's a Divine representation. I am Divinely human becoming a 'working perfection' as Ossie Davis said. So I write today and almost every day to show how open, honest and Divine I am. This is the reason I write.
