Rant on Writing
However is anyone to do anything when called hither and thither as a bee? The sweet nectar of a bee is great and all, and perhaps necessary, but the grandeur of the universe and all of imagination is lost to the myopic insect. Have you ever felt that you can't ever write because of all the things pulling you in different directions? Here is a safe space to rant about it. Feel free to use as much description and as many obscure words as you desire.

Sometimes I cry when writing isn’t an option.

Writing is difficult, I think that's the issue. It looks like it should be easy, what do you even do? type or scrawl down words? Everyone does that to some extent. I have no room to make a fuss.

But here I am, fussing about writing. That's because writing is easy, until its impossible. I've built up my expectations of my writing, but now those expectations are a blockade, keeping myself from improving, halting myself from moving forward.

This is only made more messy, my friend, when we take into account that writing is an art form. Its utilized to express whatever is going on under the fleshy masks we've got on. Writing can be meditative, educational, and expressive, so why is it so hard? Why do I end up crying over the blank paper? Why do I sometimes cry when writing isn't an option?
