Hi all, I have read a lot of messages, of late and for some reason I could not reply. Not sure as to why, I would end up staring at the screen and daydreaming that I was replying, but I was not. May be I am unsure of what to say, or that I would say something the wrong way and hurt someones feelings. I just wanted you guys to know that I am thinking of you all, even if I don't know what to say.
 
I understand. You want your words to be the right ones, but you are not quite sure what is right or at least what the right words are for this or that person. I think we all go through phases like that.

And I do think of the people here often. Knowing I am not alone helps.
 
Hey, you are not alone. Some nights I type such a long reply to some post, and then just cannot post it, or maybe read something, and not be able to reply.

take care,

Most of what I write gets dumped in the trash can. And that is OK. Not every thing I have to say is worth saying.(much as I hate to admit that)

Write what you think. Post what you believe.

Hey lostcowboy,

What the guys have said is right--there are times like that for all of us it seems.

It is great that you wrote that to let us all know that you are there reading and thinking of us.

For me sometimes it seems like I can take in so much new information, emotions, feelings and thoughts and then my mind says, OK we're going to take a little time to relax and digest all of this new stuff.

You have had a lot of things happening for you lately. I have seen very positive changes in you since you started coming here.

So maybe for you too this is a period of digestion and assimilating all that you've absorbed.

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts.

Regards,
 
Lost cowboy just knowing you are here is good for us all. I sometimes feel that I want to answer everyone and reply to their posts but then I realize that I dont have a hell of a lot to add to what has been said. Kind of like the way I feel right now. But please chock that up to being away for a while
 
First of all let me thank you cowboy, for voicing mine and collective emotions.

I start writing by thinking that wont be able to do well, (what if..?) So naturally I program my self for failure.. as I block my own flow of thought.

Then I over analyse my writing so much that end up confusing myself... by over editing.

Next comes the fear of saying something wrong or hurtful which annoys someone, someone judges my writing and me...and respond harshly or rejects my point of view..and hurts me.

So many things that go into my mind when I write, wonder why do I still write?

Because I want to be heard, I want to express. I want to reach to all of you, above all thru you to myself. I will not supress my self just beacuse I fear I might not sound right! I feared that as child, with my parents...now I will not do this to myself.

I have got just this life. Let me not waste in thinking , while I could be living it, enjoying it.
 
Wow, I never thought I would get so many replies back! Thanks guys! I wonder how many of the lurkers are having writers block also? Come on guys let us know! We don't bite! Could it be that some of you have spelling problems, and don't want anyone to know? I found a free spelling program that I use! Ispell, https://www.iespell.com/index.htm
