Writing in Depression
Okay. I probably should've written this with my introductory Moi post previously. I thought it was obvious but I'm going to spell it out here already. Consider this a disclaimer for my blog too.
This comes after someone (i.e. Anupam; don't bother going to the link; there's nothing there) pointed out to me that my blog posts (well, the textual ones) are quite depressing.
eeeYupp. They are. I know.There's a fundamental reason for this>> I write only when I'm down/low/sad (all =depressed). I don't know why that is the case, or maybe I probably do. Melancholy agitates my soul. My nerves get severely constricted and I need to let out the constrained energy. Writing is my outlet.
I know I'm not the only one who feels this. There are thousands of people who write just for an outlet for their feelings. In fact, that's the reason I started this blog. I know, at the time that I started, I was depressed enough in life to start writing (proof). (Fortunately, Posterous happened at the perfect time when I was in the market for a blogging platform other than Blogger). I probably may never share my deepest feelings out on a public forum like this, but just writing something helps. I really does. And for me it's natural to write something that is sad in general. It sort of pacifies me. Other people might feel differently, but that's what helps me.
Heck, it's helping me now. There's something inside me that's really hurting and I'm unable to find the time/motivation to write. Which is why I'm writing something, i.e. this (=depressing). It works.
Cool?
