Where's the Muses?

Ok so last night I was talking with one of my friends online after sending him a poem I wrote. I told him that I doubt myself a lot and it is really hard to write sometimes. I call it a love/ hate relationship. You know inside when something is right for you... it is a feeling but getting it out of your system is like sometimes tackling a bad cold. It stays inside. My friend told me that he thinks we both need a muse- someone to break away the numbness, loneliness, and over-thinking in our lives. Let's face it, when we are happy, really happy, we are willing to take more chances.



Valentine's day is coming up and yes, it can give way to a load of inspiration for many people, however, what about those that don't have muses or romantic events to look forward to. Well, then it's time to love ourselves and get to know the real us again. Or dig up some of your emotions that are difficult for you to express and start up a journal of "me" thoughts." Remember: A journal or diary is just for yourself so you don't have to worry about writing a certain way. Buy something that suits you- leather bound or one with kittens on it. Whatever you choose, let it express you. You can do whatever you want in tis journal. It is an exploration of your writing. Jot down random thoughts, feelings, or scribble when nothing comes to mind. Even save some pages for ripping up or coloring. When the muses out there are all taken, we can try to remove the negativity in our own lives and be our own muse. Possible? Don't know. Let's give it a shot.
