"To write what matters to us most, we have to be willing to go to dangerous places in ourselves and say dangerous things. It’s far easier to write only around the edges of what matters, avoiding the dark center of our caring where there are unmet, unwanted feelings — rage or grief or forbidden attractions — that are sure to shake up our sense of who we are and reveal the unstable ground we stand on. It takes trememdous courage to tell our deepest truth, first to ourselves, then to the world. No one can do it without deep respect for their own frailty and a fundamental trust in life."

Should I write? And if I do, who would I write for?  There is no one left now, and I was never one to write just for myself.  A heart is meant to be shared...

like a golf ball

There is love inside, but it is all wrapped up like the inside of a golf ball.  Have you ever tried to tear one of those babies apart and get to the core??  It's not an easy task. I know. I've tried it.  If you even get past that hard outer shell, there are those rubber thread thingies that are wrapped around what is inside and it takes a lot of work to cut through all of that crap, so most people just give up. That's what it feels like, an inner core of love bound so tightly with a hard outer shell and try as I may, I can't break through and allow the love to flow anymore.  I can feel it there though. Maybe one day it will explode...

Till then, I remain indifferent.
