December 19 – Healing. What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011? (Author: Leonie Allan)
When I read this post, I had nothing. Seriously. Blank, blank, blank! You see, when I think about the word “healed,” I feel like I should have been heartbroken or something. So, for the past couple days, I have been trying to think outside the box about “healing” and what it actually means. And today, it finally hit me. Reverb10 IS healing me right this very minute.
In one of the earlier prompts, I wrote about eliminating the fear of writing. Fear of what other people think and the fear of digging deeper into my emotions and just putting it all out there. I have been actively avoiding writing and not just on my personal blog. I’ve been avoiding writing on other blogs that I contribute to as well and I honestly didn’t even realize it until now.
When I first decided to participate in Reverb10, I thought of it as more of a neat way to reflect on an amazing 2010 and less of a “task.” Not only have I been able to reflect, but I've noticed I am more free with what I write and less hesitant to say what I truly feel. Healing is a process and I don't think I'm 100% there, but I'm definitely on my way.
