I loved your exploration of this prompt. It’s something I’ve thought about myself. When I’m in the heat of sadness I have such intense thoughts and emotions that I wish I could capture in writing but I can’t seem to write during those moments. My therapist told me that I need to do grounding activities to calm down my mind before I’ll be able to write my thoughts and feelings. It’s totally normal to not be able to write in the heat of moment. I think there are too many scattered thoughts and emotions to be able to write at the height of emotions.
thank you for engaging with my question 🥹 this is written so thoughtfully. I posed that question because I feel like I’ve seen other people ask it similarly too before and it’s made me wonder, are there people who write when they’re happy? Are there people who write when they’re so overjoyed with gratitude towards something? I’m sure there are, but for me, I usually write from sadness — that sentence you wrote really resonated with me. I guess I wonder if I can change my relationship with writing too, it is very interesting to see how different peoples relationship with it can be
