A Word A Day Keeps the Dr. Away: back burner

back burner

put on the back burner: to set something aside for the time being, as a subject that is not of immediate concern but that may be activated later; postponed

you are always on the back burner of my brain. eventually you will boil over. I fear that day, that scalding, burning day of panic, that day when I go crazy.

Eat My Words

I was once prescribed to keep a journal. I was told, write anything down- mundane occurrences, incoherent thoughts, complete nonsense- ramble on and on if I must. I did such and quickly found "what a power there is in words; later for those who hear them, but first for the one who finds them; a healing power, a solution, like the breaking of a barrier" [ayn rand]. I learned that "it helps to write it down even if you then cross it out" [nada surf]. I mean, think about it...most great authors wrote from a place of pain, their words laden with suffering, but through this inked art form I would like to think that a shred of health and sanity was salvaged just by sharing their words. and to that I dedicate this blog.
