When Chirrut Imwe says "I'm one with the Force, and the Force is with me." through a hail of blaster fire (frickin Stormtroopers!) at the end of Rogue One, I got it. Not like "I possess the Force as well, feel you brother!" kinda way (although, I'm working on it...) but based on the picture at the top of the page. When I'm writing, nothing can touch me! I am a better human when I am writing on the regular. Colors are more vivid, I'm even more hilarious than normal, birds flock to me, the air is dewy and most importantly, the words just tumble out, almost of their own volition.
I say all this as I'm writing this blog and watching the newest season on "Mystery Science Theater". I was pretty worried about wrong sounding Kermit syndrome but I find the new episodes to be pretty funny. More to the point, I realize that I have to create the time for writing in my life. For a while, I couldn't claim it as my own, in college I found out that I had some disordered learning that focused on grammar, so I felt like something of a fraud when I dared consider myself a writer. But I realize now that I am a writer not because of The Unseen but because I need to write, I'm the best version of myself when I write and that there are stories in me that need to get out.
Have a good night friends.
