Brilliant image - I am particularly fond of sarcasm and jokes when dealing with bad feelings about myself or others. Writing definitely helps! I've been mulling over a letter I need to write and have needed to write for a while, to an old friend I haven't spoken to in a long time before it's too late. I need to write to figure out why I'm stalling, if I want to revive this friendship or not and if not, why not...I feel bad, but I have bad feelings and ambivalent feelings and prideful feelings, and even some shameful ones...ugh. I keep hoping it will all just go away, but alas. I might need to burn a few pages before I get something I can use!
