Pen & Paper

There's just something about pen and paper. Don't get me wrong, therapy is great. I've been there and actually recommend it to anyone facing any mental health issues or just needing someone to talk to. With that being said, therapy is pretty expensive. For me, it's out of the question actually. So I had no other option but to find another outlet. About a year ago I was in a pretty bad place mentally and I remained there for quite some time. I wasn't comfortable speaking about my problems to anyone, because I think I was afraid that they would then become real. That once they were spoken into existence there would be no turning back. So, that was out of the question. But I needed some type of outlet to keep me sane, so I turned to good old fashion pen & paper. I think that's what saved me
