Catharsis
 
ca*thar*sis (noun) : purification or purgation of the emotions (as pity and fear) primarily through art.

   Whenever I write, it is for the sole purpose of purging myself of some unwanted emotion, a heavy guilt, an
insufferable anger, a horrible loneliness. When I am finished, I close my eyes and make myself believe that I have
paid my dues, that I am absolved, that I have left it all behind me.

    Some dues may never be paid.

    Some crimes may never be absolved.

    Some things should never be forgotten.

    These are the things that make me who I am, interesting to you or not. It is a sad truth that we are molded far more
strongly by our mishaps than by our successes. Take hold of your pain, your anger, your fears, and make them your
armor.

    This is my story…and my catharsis.
