Writing: Way to Understand Yourself

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="360" caption="This is a good book (kafkakindergarten.blogspot.com)"][/caption] There are many reasons why people pull things out of their heads, and then to write them down on papers and MWords. Certainly psychological studies have discovered a lot more things that we do. But if we take a personal moment when we're trying to abandon all of theoritical reason for "why am i writing this?", we would come back to an affection that the main reason is to understand ourselves. Have you experienced such a situation when you were so angry, so even the persons you loved seems very annoying? Well, I think that's an extreme example to consider. But the point is, the one-quick-smart wayout that we would taken in that situation is asking to ourselves why were we so angry about those things. "It's not a big deal, why am I crying?" Especially for the women. Now. Writing things about feeling onto a paper or digital applications for sure can give us an assistance for recognizing the "why". First we write the steps. From the begining of the stories. We started to write on papers why things look so unfamiliar, what feeling which came out after seeing the change, and do we accept or deny it. People always know how to tell theirselves why something could happen so badly. And when I found my problem steps from the beginning, everything seems more clearly. Let's say writing is simply about understand ourselves. Yourself. When you are sad about love, the feeling that written down will tell you more stories that can help you to take further actions. Whether you want to cry all day, or to smile in minutes. In fact, reading your own love story will probably make you smile and think of things you've done wrong or right. Writings open minds. I'm not trying to make a simple judgement about how would you express your thoughts and feeling in the way you make scratches on paper. I'm just simply share this simple law that through writing feelings, I can find the way to understand myself more. Something that relatively can happen to anyone including you. Try to write down beautiful things. Dreams that seem closer. Funny face of people you love, or stupid incident that more likely funny. Try to make your own timeline why "The God" gave these things to you, and what purpose behind them. Imagine you are a big author that expecting the better world. And you will change your own circumstances. Find people who had the same feelings, and ask if they want to write also. And voila! The magic works. Words of feeling now turn into a beautiful poems and even song lyrics. I'm really interested in Ernest Hemingway books. The one i'm reading these days back is Moveable Feast, a simple story book which can tell me how hard people lived in Paris in the middle of 1930s. I'm happy about this book also because I got it by special discounts, thanks tho the book store that celebrates their anniversary in such an amazing bazaar. I was lucky. By the stories, I can find the path of how Hemingway realized his circumstance of living around people who decide not to write about their lives. And he took the chance. He write his daily lives on papers using traditional typing machines in his room on the second floor of his little house near Louvre. And still, he enjoyed breakfast with his wife Hadley and a cup of Latte in the night. The book is awesome, despite the fact that Hemingway was never even seen his memoir posthumously published in books. The Nobel Prize Literacy winner died in 1961. While trying to understand the thoughts of big authors in the world, I got this one thought of mine. Writing is the way to understand myself. How hard the life goes, and how bright the future waits. This is about makin decisions. Am I going to be a man without stories, or an author in the line of history. The simple answer lays in my arms, and my pen. (of course this analogical thing driven more digitally ;p) Simple note.
