Today I didn’t want to write.
Today I had a hard day.
Today I got some pretty upsetting news.
But I did write.
I wrote an entire post, that I later deleted. It didn’t need to be published.
I wrote about my frustrations and about how sad I was.
Instead of laying on my couch crying until morning, I wrote.
It is such a relieving feeling to get everything off your chest and get it out somewhere.
It was still terrible news and I am still really upset. I do feel a little better now that it has been released.
Write even when you don’t feel like it.

I have so many write-it-out-but-don’t-press-post moments. You are right–it is helpful to write even when we don’t feel like it.
