Wrting is Sacred

Hey, I learned that writing is sacred. When you argue with someone, you can write them a note, and tell them how you feel, and that you hope that you can still be friends, but you want to know how they feel to cuz it's important to you... that's how I've solved many problems. When you're face-to-face with someone, you are under pressure sometimes, and don't always say everything you wished you could say, or didn't say it right. When you are in front of them, it like the snap of a finger. You need to think of what you're going to say right then. We all face moments like these quite often, but writing a note, even afterwards to address why you said what you did, or apologize for something you didn't mean. It takes off all that pressure, and weight. When you're writing, you have an erraser, so the words you don't want them to hear don't have to be heard.
Another thing about writing is that when you are upset or angry, you can write about it. This truly works for me, and a lot of people I know. When I'm angry or upset, I write about everything I feel, no matter how bad it is. It's like a way of releasing your anger. Sometimes I have intentions of actually giving that note to a person at the moment I'm angry, but the next day, I read it and always decide against it. You should NEVER give an angry note to someone or leave it where someone might find it. Even if you have intetions, sleep on that thought. When you get up the next morning, you may not want to. I always destroy my angry notes, rip them up and throw them away. But I also write good notes that I do give to that person sometimes. When I love someone to death, I just write about it. It's truly amazing what writing can do. You can let go of feelings, think of what you want to say to a person and take your time, or you can tell someone how special they are exactly how you want to!
