The breakup of the month

 

Dear Writer’s Block, 

It’s not you, it’s me. I know the time we have spent together, we have had some fun relaxing but now we really must be saying goodbye. Oh I know, I know what you are thinking “Don’t worry she will be back. They always come back” but this time I think its time for us to say goodbye. Goodbye to the evenings where I stumble along on Facebook wasting hours of thinking time. Goodbye to the days of unnecessary stress and over thinking dilemmas. Goodbye to the moments we have shared when we have gotten nothing accomplished. I know in the day there is more time that can be used than you have given me and in the past it has been to easy to fall into your embrace. 

But it is time for me to go, to move on, to be the better person, the bigger person, the stronger person. It is time for me to say goodbye to those empty and forgettable yesterdays and make a notable tomorrow. I have too many dreams and too many wasted talents with you in the way blocking my every move. I know the lazy afternoons we shared will be cherished and the forgettable moments looked at as necessary relaxation. But in reality, it was a virus that you have spread through my being stealing my motivation, stalling my creativity and rotting my brain. 

Writer’s Block, I have heard all the lines before. “It will change,” “It is necessary” but in the end which of us has been full of the lies. Who is holding whom back? “You need me,” I only need myself. “I will die without you”: some things are better that way. I know I will hurt your memory of me and I know that there will be tomorrows that I will fight to stay out of your grasp but remember that as a writer I have the creativity to silence your voice, pause your video and erase your mark on my soul. So goodbye Writer’s Block. May you find happiness with another unfortunate soul. 

Farewell,

Ashley
