Writing Helps Calm Me
Three lines about the medicine you can't get anywhere else.
A haiku, about the only thing that consistently does what nothing else does.
Writing helps calm me
It brings me a peace of mind
That nothing else can
I tried therapy. I tried running. I tried meditation. They all help. None of them quite do what writing does. The page doesn’t talk back, doesn’t judge, doesn’t make you wait. The page just receives.
