Dear My Writing
Muse,
I’ve
been particularly lazy
to write today---I haven’t
even finished my Morning
Pages exercise.
Forgive me for
most of the time, I take the credits
away from you
and hand it to some people who come
into my life in a whirlwind----as fast as how they come is as how fast they
leave. And then during those
times, I sulk and break into non-writing tantrums, claiming a block even
though you are
actually asking for us to meet
at the page.
Now, I understand that you are
not present in people, or
places, or circumstances, or in certain events. You
are in me. I’ve
denied that basic fact for a long time because I was scared of that big responsibility. So, I tried looking for
someone and something to blame whenever I get the
urge to escape
from being accountable in heeding
what you ask me to write. I sometimes still do that though, block you and then blame a particular person or circumstance. It
actually works. But I don’t want that drama anymore. I realized
that if I keep on doing
that, you will keep on growing and I would remain stranded. And if that’s the case, that wouldn’t
be beneficial for
the both of us, would it?
So, I’m taking full
responsibility. Please
understand me during the
days when I would ignore
you. I would also try
to understand if there are times
when you would
take your well-deserved
break. Let’s compromise, okay?
That’s one of the ingredients of any great
relationships, and I perfectly
think that we can work
this one out.
Love,
Au
P.S. Will you go with me on regular and exclusive
dates?
