Writing in my book.

I am gathering and re-typing all my facebook posts, texts, messages and such into a "Dear....." format on Kindle.

As I am doing this, reading over the words I posted and such, I think: Who the heck is gonna read this and why would they ever buy it?
To me it's all regurgitated stuff. I don't see much new or mind blowing. Are there people out there that would actually buy this and enjoy it?

I really have no idea. I am just doing it because it was suggested right after I had thought of it. So..go with it and see what happens.

I have another few books I would like to write too, I think. But for now, this one is progressing and I am taking time to go it.

I wonder about it, but, still move forward and type.

I tell myself I am am writer and author. I meditate on it and find whatever hesitations I have and let them open up to belief, fading away the angst and being hopeful for possibilities.

Is what I have to say unique? Is there anything profound or life giving to others who don't already read all this stuff? I think I will add in some " Well, shit, that sucks" letters too.

My thoughts are to write what I would to my friends, those I love and care about and hopefully make others who I don't know, feel like maybe I do and I'm that friend that will say anything but always have something positive in the end, without wanting them go puke with sappiness.

What people have said to me, is that I have given themselves  permission to be themselves. To let go of masks or expectations of others and just be authentically them. Wow. That is amazing to be able to give that to others hey?

I didn't always have that myself. I so often tried to be who and what I thought others wanted or expected me to be. What a frickin' load of work that was! And I totally stunk at it too. I think everyone does really.
And most people can smell that bullshit act a mile away. So in that process, we end up creating what we feared, rejection. Thinking it was us they didn't like but really it was the bullshit version they didn't.

If we gave ourselves complete freedom to be who we are, I really believe, even if we aren't liked by all, we will be respected for being authentic. And really, that's pretty wonderful.

Be you, you are the only one there is, everyone else is taken.
