Blank

in writing •  7 years ago  (edited)



I never knew what I wanted to write about today. I just hit the buttons on my keyboard. Let them come out letter by letter and follow the key strikes of the music.

You know it always felt so much easier with you beside me.

So much more fun when you were on the other side of the screen and reading what my fingers typed.

But now...

Now no one is ever going to read this.

Now you won't return my calls.

You won't answer my messages.

You won't even open the door no matter how many times I'll be out there ringing.

Now I'll have to sink deep in myself to find my peace again.

I'll have to flood my screen with pixels forming weird shapes, because now words are nothing but weird shapes in my eyes.

I only write them because that's what I've always been doing and that's the only thing I know.

The only way I have to channel my emotions through.

I was never good with talking.

But words would come out right behind my tongue so easily whenever I sank in me, whenever I was driven by the music and sometimes I didn't even need to listen to it. Sometimes you were my music but now,

as I said before,

now you're gone.

And now,

I'll be stuck here,

typing,

typing...

blank!

I felt like I needed a break from writing, there is an overload in my head I cannot help, that's why you're not seeing much from me the last few days. But music brought some romantic "inspiration" last night I thought I could share. I want to get back to my stories, but my brain has so many tabs open that I can hardly concentrate. Well, it's either this or the beers from the #sevendaybeerchallenge

Anyways, can you tell who the absent person is? 

Thank you so much for your time!

Until my next post,
Steem on and keep smiling, people!

We have to read the story carefully

^_^

I love the contrast of your dull colored pic with her bright blue shades (at least that's what I see)

Anyways, can you tell who the absent person is?

You were in personal correspondence with Hawking?


Intouchables is a great movie btw.

Yeah! I connected to him through the music :P

I know, I liked it too ;)

That's one of the biggest blank posts I have seen in my life.

I'll take that as a compliment! :P

What the hell are you babbling about?

A tired brain with a monthly hormonal imbalance. Nothing too serious ;)

You know what @ruth-girl?
It makes perfect sense to me what you say.....a little break is always needed, so you can come back stronger, better, more fierce!

You are not a typing machine, you are a human, expressing your feelings and thoughts through your pen!

Take your time, we'll be here waiting for you 😘 😘

P.S.: Love the music you choose ❤!!

Thank you for the encouragement @alinak15!!! :)

I'll just let spring time take me away and bring me back more energised!!

Kisses!! Lots of kisses!! :* :*

Any time Empress ❤

πανέμορφο και μόνο blank δεν είναι :)

Ευχαριστω, Μαριε!! :)

Eρωτηση, πανεμορφοτερο απο τη Barbie? :P

ναι,γιατί έχει εσωτερική ομορφιά ;)

Take a deep breathe in and let it all go so your body and mind gets synchronized too.
Have a productive day with ideas to play with!

Thank you!! I have already been feeling "lighter" and almost ready to get back in action :)

Truly you feel blank but you are not blank at all, you just need a new spirit in your body and soul.

Oh! Thank you for your kind words! :)

It's only natural if you feel a bit exhausted @ruth-girl!
However these are some inspiring words you chose to share with us.

By the way I think this Seven Day Beer challenge is starting to take its toll on me as well! And I just got started!

Yeah! I just need some rest. Springtime will help, I'm sure! :)

Wait until you reach day 7 :P

it looks like the sound of silence... blank but so many to say!

Thank you @vovask! :D

Same, but for other reasons.

If only we could "stretch" those 24 hours in a day...

I will just answer short: "baaah"...

Δυνατό και όμορφο....

Ευχαριστώ! :)

I love that track!! It makes me pretty sad though.

Most of my favorite tracks are melancholic to be honest...

Thanks for reading! :)

Most melancholic tracks have this "thing" that makes me keep coming back!!

Glad you're feeling like writing again @ruth-girl. I really like this piece. It's beautifully written.
There seem to be a lot of people taking a break from writing right now so I'm doubly glad to see something from you! 😊

It's only natural I think. Writing on a daily basis wears you out sooner or later.

It's nice to hear you liked it! Thank you! :D

Isn't it a shame that the most beautiful writing emerges from suffering. Well done, @ruth-girl ...I'll be looking forward to following your work.

Suffering brings intense emotions, which in turn are channeled through writing, this could justify how pain becomes your greatest inspiration.

Thank you so much for reading @douglasbalmain!

Sounds more like someone left a hole deep in your heart that's irreplaceable, no one is irreplaceable. Time will tell.

Thank you @sylviam! :)

I am

So pleased to comment here...nice writeup dear
Keep this good work on

Thank you!

An aptly titled post - BLANK!

I felt this way a little over a year ago, when I lost my mum. It was a very hard time for me back then.
When it comes to matters of the heart, the words to express the grief, pain and hurt of losing a loved one is usually difficult to find at such a time.

To answer this...

can you tell who the absent person is?

From these your lines below....

  • "...Now you won't return my calls."
  • "...You won't answer my messages."
  • "...You won't even open the door no matter how many times I'll be out there ringing."
  • "...now you're gone."

I'm guessing you've lost someone dear to you @ruth-girl. Perhaps a spouse, or blood relative.
All the same, I hope you'd find strength to be the "you" devoid of your lose. Please stay strong and remain positive about life @ruth-girl.

I'm sorry about your mother. It's hard when our loved ones leave, but time helps you deal with it.

As for the missing person in my story, for me it was just a metaphore for inspiration that doesn't visit me those last few days. But I will find it again! I won't quit! ;)

More power to you. Feeling low in the absence is a natural progression. But that's when you should put in double the force. And create amazing things.

And blank is indeed awesome. Thank you

Thanks you for the encouraging words! :)
