sick.

Word vomit. Just throw words on paper and screens like abstract art, or like you’re on a winding road, and the twisting is so extreme you just hurl.

Except you hurl words. The twisting road is, predictably and all too cliche, life. Ah, life will jerk and spin you around like crazy, and there’s a trick to keeping steady. You can distract yourself with other things just like you can sleep or take motion sickness pills to distract yourself from the twisting.

Or you can get sick. Let it be. You can let go of it all just like you can let go of your words. Throw them away. Throw them out. Let them free. It’s a release. You feel a nausea building within you, and releasing it is sweet freedom.

Life will make you sick. Once you throw up, you'll feel much better. I promise.

Just a few more days and I'll be healed.

  1. Now we have to remember... throwing up on purpose for the reason of feeling better... is a disease called Bulimia. In which case, your "overflow" of words would then be a bulimia of words. ;-P

    So don't force sickness upon yourself. Getting sick happens all on its own. =)
