I'm sitting on my loveseat watching the 2018 movie Little Women on Amazon and I am not moving for the rest of the night.
Little Women was a childhood favorite of mine so this is a delightful treat. I identify with the character Jo with her passion for writing. When her sister Amy, in a fit of jealousy for being left behind by her sisters who attended a play, burned her book in progress I felt her anger and reluctance to forgive her. sister. The betrayal and loss I felt as fiercely having suffered the same destruction once past when my exhusband burned all of my clothes, writing and the card collection I was creating for the church gift shop in one evening after a terrible fight.
I lost my desire to create in one large bonfire. The police were called to our house while I stayed up the road from our house at my in laws home.
It took years for me to begin writing once more. The phrase "beauty from ashes" comes to mind.
Someone may try to destroy you, or hold you down, but the truth is only you can do that.
Possessions are transitory, art and writing are within and no one can put out that fire within. I learned that just as a Phoenix rises from ashes, we can start over, and over yet again, if needed.
Jo forgave the thoughtless act of destruction of her creation. I forgave mine, too. Since then I have picked up my pen and I will write again and again. It matters not if no one reads what spills from my fingers. I am what I am. I'm a writer and I am happiest creating.
This is my five minute freewrite using prompt not moving.
