Good morning, friends!
Writing truth can be painful, almost brutal. I saw a quote on Facebook yesterday that got me thinking. Toni Morrison has never spoken any truer words. Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined. I have let so many people or society put definitions on me that I have started to believe them. Handicapped and disabled are not my definitions. Records are records, they are meant to be broken, doesn't mean we may want them too; the same can be said for definitions. I may not run a sub 4 minute mile, but it's just a number. What we do versus who we are. Am I a writer or a person who simply writes? I'll let you answer that.

You are so right. Writing can be painful + brutal. That's a great quote!

Thank you. It means so much!
DeleteThat is a great quote! Why do we always need to put labels on everything/one?

Great quote. I think the most important thing is how you feel on the inside and how you see yourself. If you see yourself as a writer, then that's what you are. I know I will never be a "sporty person", I'm only a person who does some sports ;-) Great post, really made me think. Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog, have a lovely day xo
ReplyDeleteSuperbly written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a far better place..
