dear old me,
2018
If there is anything I have learned over the previous years is the fact that you could never comprehend what battle someone is confronting or have confronted but hiding. The facade that they all have on their face could in all likelihood be concealing the torment that they are feeling. Then again for me, I thought it was always a genuine smile at the time , however, it didn't imply that I was dependably as upbeat as I played it off to be. After a lengthy, difficult experience of taking a shot at myself, I can authoritatively say I am deserting that old me and adhering to the new, solid, truly cheerful and positive me.
I have kept journals, letters or any form of composition to myself to move on from the old me and acknowledge the astonishing new achievements that I have made. I truly believe writing is one useful and integral part of therapy as there are numerous advantages to composing, including 'getting it out of our head', seeing things from another point of view, a piece of presentation work (distressing recollections), or externalising the issue. Perhaps, even simply putting words on paper appears to truly help.
Unfinished Journey is a project I bring forth, discussing on self- transformation through composition and I require your assistance to proceed on. If you could, share with me a composition (letters,poems or any other creative works) to your dear old self but do bear in mind that it would be use for an exhibition. Hence, you could sign it anonymously or with pride. You might choose to set a time limit for your writing and since you are writing to yourself, ensure you do so in a compassionate way.
