I Didn’t Have An Unhappy Childhood

I don’t remember having had an unhappy childhood.  I keep reaching that successful writers are the ones who had it tough.  I don’t know if that’s true or not.  But ever since I started following Post Secret I started understanding where having a horrible life can help in your art.  Maybe that’s why my photography lacks so much emotion.

So last week I bought one of the Post Secret books.  The one on the right was the first book.  What I like about Post Secret is not only the secrets that people share, but also gives me the chance to understand them at the deepest level.

At the most basic level people are all the same — we are driven by emotions.  These emotions cause us to be deceitful.  Sometimes we don’t trust others.  Other times we have our own hidden agenda no matter how insignificant it may be.  We can get emotionally hurt by the slightest lack of thoughtfulness.

Life isn’t about living, life is about feeling the full sprectrum of emotions.  Hurt needs to be savoured to be fully appreciated.
