thank you for this...
some of the things I right may be challenging to read
for anyone actually experiencing the emotion
I try to express

I know it is for me sometimes
when I re-expeience a similar emotion...

something like emotion sickness
on the journey through life

but I feel releasing the emotion
no matter how horrible it feels
is better than holding it in...

and then, often, the words are pure fiction
a story from some inspiration
either within me or observed outside...
and from Stephen King to Dr. Suess
or Hitchcock to Mel Brooks
and so many in between
I love to explore all the emotions I can find or imagine...

and a little recognition i all the food I need
to sustain me another night :)

honest love, ric

PS... the writing is also my way of diffusing stresses :)
