Writing

There is only one thing that should be known about writing.

It will inevitably lead you to the darkest of places, it will drive you wild with desire and mad with rage,because you cannot write about something if you have not lived it.

But the most important thing you must remember is that you are there as a tourist and must always remain one. 

You mustn't fall into it's murky depths.

My dear, there was a very specific reason why you were blessed with the ability to translate your sentiments into words- it is to bring a voice to suffering and torment. 

But I warn you, do not be too indulgent with your experience of these things- despite how addictive suffering can be- how easy it is to get lost down the twisted path of self-destruction.

Young one, you must emerge from your journey scathed, but victorious, and then you must write. 

Tell your story.
