I love how Lindsey elucidates the motivation so many of us feel to write: to be heard, yes, but more to be understood while helping others to understand. Lindsey is one of my great gurus in that department. She makes me think and she makes me "get it." Time and time again. Thank you, Kelly, for asking this question.

Or take photographs. Or make movies or art or dance..... It's about story-telling - and connecting - to others, to something bigger than we know, to truth.... Everything you write is touching and beautiful, L. ;-) All the best! deb C.S Lewis said, “We read to know we’re not alone”

This is, I guess, what everyone wants to say but didn't try or succeed to put it like this, in such a beautiful and inspiring way. To me, writing (or blogging, or sharing a memory of the past) is about that moment when people can recognize in your words a feeling, like "I belong", or "I wish I had the guts to say it", or "Yes, it is me, I am not alone". It's about connecting, and feeling better afterwards. Thank you for sharing this, and a big thanks to this author I don't know, and yet, when reading, I couldn't help but think : "Who is this woman and how can she read my mind ?". So there. She managed to make me understand something I knew all along, but in a new way (and such wonderful way). This is a wonderful post.
