Acting (ramble)
It might not be that good but it helps me feel seen and it puts me above whatever is going on and all I focus on is portraying the feeling I'm supposed to be feeling without saying it directly. Sorry this is such a ramble I'm not good with my own words. But I am good at writing my character's words down because I know exactly what they feel why they feel it and how others will react.
@Iamspoons Writing can be such a cathartic experience, and I know exactly what you mean! It is easier to speak your truth if you don't feel like YOU, the real you, are being ogled while you do it. I often find it difficult to express my feelings, either by word choice or simply speaking my truth. Art is my outlet and it has done me so much good. You are not alone by any means!
@Iamspoons
I can relate to the part where you mention that it helps you express things you can't express in person. Thank you for sharing! 😊
@Iamspoons Hey, I am actually pretty much the same. I find my voice in music lyrics, poetry and words in general. But I can't speak them out loud, I can plot them on a page and let everything flow out so I know exactly what you mean. It is such a rejuvenating experience for me. I am lost in my direct conversation but found in words on pages and in books and songs.
