I miss writing.

I miss writing just because I want to write. I miss having to write five pages of storyline just because one line really fit, I just needed to create the block in which to place it.

I yearn to the days that I would use whatever available surface I had to jot down a story idea, or title, or that character name that just begs to be taken advantage of in that model setting. I miss it when I used to write on pieces of paper, or in the tiny pads of smart phones and lose it and just don’t care (much) because at least it was out there.

It’s a distant memory for me – moments spent in the dark with only my laptop screen as the source of light, the faulty fan of my HP burning a hole in my thigh because it’s only one more line, I don’t need to get up and sit on my desk. I’m on a roll!

I remember vaguely when I used to scramble for a notepad (any, I had so many, still have. One day I will sort through them all) so I can solve that pesky block that would not budge for months! It was so simple, as I jot it down, I am both ashamed and excited.

I miss the thrill of telling my friends my story but not letting them read it because I am not there yet. I am not that writer yet as to be invited into people’s homes.

Words seemed easy, they came and went as if by their own accord, in a language not my own but one that lent itself to my imagination. Words that used to come by unprompted, appearing “uninvoked” by my hands but seeming smooth and flow unhindered, I fret would now become strained and desensitized – and yet they do not desert me.

Years seem to rush by and I am timid of my sanctuary, but for whatever time passes or I am estranged from it, I know it as my safe haven. My release and inspiration.  

The conclusion is always the hardest part.

People just suck. It doesn't matter what religion or belief they have, everyone thinks they are perfectly in the right. Problem is, none of us are perfect. Everyone makes mistakes and has problems and is unjust and racist and bigoted and selfish, it's human nature. The power and FAITH comes from overcoming these weaknesses, and choosing to be a better person. If EVERY single man and woman treated others like they want themselves to be treated then the world will be overwhelmed with PEACE.

There is NO question that NONE of us will agree, not completely, not on everything. Believers and nonbelievers, of all faiths and ways of life will never be of the same mind, BUT, we are humans. We share much more than we conflict on, we just like to be bitter about the things we dislike or don’t condone. So how about we focus on shared interest?

Humanity. PEOPLE are their most powerful, their unrelenting best when they stick together. When we join forces for a single cause, it will be done. If everyone stood, not fought or yelled or rebelled or rioted or caused chaos and unrest, but expressed their definite unwavering choice that: I will not cause other people harm. I will not treat you less than what you are, a human, another person, based on your OWN actions and not the actions of those related by you either by name, color, race, religion or social status. I will help others who need my help. I shall see the guilty and wicked who harm innocents and cause unrest to the peace punished for their crimes and will not wish others ill. My heart might never be fully pure but my words and actions will express goodwill. I will not put money, power, bad blood or hate before justice and harmony for mankind. I choose to be humane and kind to my fellow human. I will not forgo my beliefs but I will not attack others for theirs if they do not assault me for mine. I will respect my home, my family, my friends, coworkers, neighbors, I will revere each life; human, animal and planet, and will not defile my planet with waste, destruction, greed or war.    

Children are to be protected, loved and cherished! They deserve to not know war, pain, suffering, hunger and hate.

I choose to stand, to live a peaceful life, knowing in my heart that while people do suck, that they can be good. And when they are really good, they are Great.  

In the face of all the anger and dissent, anarchy and confusion, loud voices and broken bodies I must believe in a hope. There's no debate that connecting through a common goal of saving the planet is the one thing we all must agree on. Put strife aside and put your children future in the forefront.

War is not the answer.

For without hope, goodwill, you will only rise up to fall. Make the right choices and own up to your deeds.
