I was reviewing my writing notebook... a book I use for jotting down ideas, thoughts, stories and ideas for stories. I came across a sort of confession -- I had expressed a fear that I had. I consider it a confession because it was a fear I didn't think I should have, but was admitting I did have. Anyway, when we jot down our thoughts, we can admit our deepest fears, regrets, worries, and depending on who we imagine our audience to be, it can be a confession, an apology, without the embarrassment of confrontation.
Of course, a face-to-face might be in order, and in that case, this bit of writing will be a good preparation. It might even be the mode of self-revelation that takes us to the place of illumination, confrontation, or reconciliation.
There are millions of reasons to put pen to paper.
This is one of the more useful ones, I think.
Have a great weekend.
