High school's never over....

So...just writing. I should be just reading.  My textbook. But writing is more fun.

Thinking about high school and how years afterward, it seems that Facebook can bring the drama of it all back in an instant.

In the movie The Jane Austen Book Club (I think that's the name of it) a woman is stressing about something and her husband reminds her that high school is over. She replies, "High school's never over!"  Facebook more than anything else makes me think this is true.  And I both hate and love that.  If that makes sense.  I hate that I can so easily be drawn in but apparently, there's a different side of me that experiences a crazy rush when the drama goes down.  The drama I try to stay out of but perversely enjoy watching.  I think the part of me which recognizes that I ought not be drawn in is the healthier side of me.

Just musings.

Does anyone else ever contemplate shutting down their Facebook? And then not do it?



Just Write

Writing Helps

I may not be able to stay away.  Yes, the obsessiveness may just be too much.

I think I have a fear that if I don't write, I'll forget how.

I'm sure I won't really forget but there is something to be said about staying in flow.  Staying in practice.  In times past, when I've abandoned writing, it has been hard to pop back in.  But on the flip side there's the issue of just not always having something to say....or at least something appropriate to say.  Because I always have a million thoughts racing around, it's just that they're not all edifying.

And then, too, I feel an urge to write for a purpose.  A reason.  To let God speak through me.  For whoever He chooses.

Because there's so much sadness, so much misunderstanding, and so many people who need to hear, in this world.  And writing helps me to hear.
