So I, like many of us, am going through my drafts to see what good stuff I started but didn't finish posting. And I think there's some gold there, but also there's a lot of angry, sad, and bitter posts. And honestly? Good. Not that I felt that way, but that I was able to write out my feelings, look at them, and go "Nah. We'll see how I feel in the morning." And then I didn't feel that way anymore, so they never went anywhere!
I plan on taking this, also with other sort of social media healing lessons, with me to wherever I go next. Even if there's no draft function my phone has a notes app and my desktop has a word processor. If it's important, chances are it will still be so the next day. If not, who cares.
Twitter and microblogging sites have gotten us accustomed to shouting our every thought into the crowded room of the internet. And shouting like that can be healing, it can help us deal with pain and loss and sadness and shitty days. But some things are best shouted into a void.
