Good Thing I'm a Writer

6/16/2012

Don't go through too much trouble trying to hide, forget about, or dismiss your speckled past. So what if you've had a few scrapes, scuffles, and scandalous goings on? Just think of all the great stories and lessons you'll be able to share with your grandchildren one day.
I was just sitting here thinking about the stories my grandma used to tell me of her hell-raising and ho-hopping days in her 20s, and I smiled; thinking now of how I should have done way more dirt in my "youthier" youth. But then, to whose children would I tell those stories anyhow?  So, it's a good thing I'm a writer.

This made me smile, Regina. It's great to be a writer for these reasons. (And sometimes also good to consider a pseudonym!) :)

Hi, Eva! Thanks. :) And yes. That's an excellent point. There's no telling how many aliases and nicknames my grandma had back in her day. I only wish I had half the adventures that she had to talk about. What great stories.

Love "youthier youth." Nice post - writing is good for so many things.
