Writing to Heal Yourself and the World

This is a good motivation for writing. This is what I have found.

Why?

Because it appears that motivation is everything in life.

It's not just what you do in life it's why you do what you do in life.

When my life fell apart in 1969 I thought I would have to end my life.

However, by age 25 after many many girlfriends my live in girlfriend got pregnant and we got married.

Actually, this was exactly what I personally needed (to be a father).

I'm not sure I needed to be married to anyone. However, I had always wanted to be a father because it made more sense to me than anything else. 

Why?

Because adults were all so miserable in the 1950s because they were still crazy from World war II and the Korean War.

Everyone had PTSD I realize now so literally everyone was psychologically maybe permanently scarred from the Great Depression and World War II.

So, my point of view in 1969 was that anyone older than 29 was insane. I really believed this at age 21.

The motto of the college students of the time was: "Don't trust anyone over 30".

And I was one of these who actually thought this way.

However, then I was 29 and going to turn 30 and I thought to myself: "Am I not going to trust myself because I'm turning 30 myself?"

I finally realized how crazy thinking this way actually was.

So, I grew up out of the idealism of youth into the eternal compromise of true adulthood and marriage and owning businesses.

Yes. I would prefer to live in an ideal world. However, to support my family and my wife I have to do whatever it takes.

So, writing about all this in your life can help not only you but others you meet along the way.

Write about your experiences it will help others survive what you are now or did go through in your life too.!
