I waited too long, and now it's gone...


One of my hard-drives was completely wiped out the other day, which contained most of my personal stuff. Among the small percentage that had real significant value to me were a few of my important writings. Writing is my passion, and therefore, my writing is very important to me. Unlike the other files on my laptop that can be easily replaced, the exact words that formed from my consciousness in those moments in time are more difficult to replicate and piece back together again. Writing is a process... It's an evolution. It's always changing, because your thoughts and ideas are always changing -- You, yourself, are always changing and evolving. Writing captures a moment in time, who you are/were at that moment, in all of your essence.

Writing is my passion, because I'm a thinker. There are people in the world who are thinkers, feelers, or doers. If there is one type of person that I am, it would be a thinker. The secondary type of person I would be is a feeler. Because I often think and feel intensely, writing is an outlet that allows me to harness all these passionate thoughts and emotions inside of me into a constructive, creative form. Nothing has felt more natural and more intuitive to me than writing. It's become who I am, because when I write, I write with purpose. I write with all of my thoughts, ideas, beliefs, values, opinions, heart, and soul.... I write with all of me -- the deepest, rawest parts of me. The very parts of me that I protect vehemently because of how bare and vulnerable they can be. And, when inspiration hits me, all of these things flow out of me with lightening strength. It unleashes itself in all its power and glory. And, there's no holding back. I can't hold it back. Can't stop; Won't stop.

The writings that I lost were kept locked away on my laptop, waiting to see the light of day.
However, they didn't make it out alive. ... And, that is very unfortunate, because I had so much I wanted to share. My writing shouldn't be kept away. Like any other moment in life, it should be shared with the rest of the world.

These potently passionate parts of ourselves --
the very essence of what makes us who we are as individuals --
should be shared and shown to the rest of the world.

It should be unleashed and fostered to grow...
to expand...
in the light,
and in its deserved right and freedom,
to shine...

For moments of passion, or anything else in life for that matter -- Don't hold back or let it wait for another day.

Don't wait too long...
... because, before you know it,
it may be gone...
