“Writing”

It is spiritual masturbation

It is self indulgent, prideful, irrelevant

You’ll regret every dam word of these posts

It is the highest level of self-deception

You have no innate ability, no talent, and no insight

You can never do it perfectly

So stop trying to do it at all

Writing

You have something inside you that needs to get out

You won’t sleep or eat

Unless you give it everything

That kid eating lunch in the teachers lounge everyday getting lost in pages

That boy driving to doctor after doctor after doctor when nothing worked

The catatonic mess who was shaking and throwing up every single treatment day.

He went back every time. No one made him. He fought every day to keep going.

He didn’t fight for himself or for his family or for his god.

He fought through every shitty day

So you could be sitting here on January 20th.

So don’t write for her

And deffinetley don’t write for the people who read

Write for him.

Because he chose to fight every single day

FOR YOU

Now go out and make it all worth it.

(And cherish every goddam second of it)
