coming to terms

Going through old writings is...oddly comforting...all of the days I survived, documented or not, but still here...

My boyfriend posted this quote as I've been really missig creative writing and trying to mix s0c!al w0rk and creative writing together, but struggle...

"The bottom line is this: You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world. In some way, your aspirations and con cern for a single man in fact do begin to change the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way a person looks or people look at reality, then you can change it." - James Baldwin

And that says what I love of really writing most...it may be "fiction" but the experience blends reality in a new filter and expands possibility and understanding...

s0c!al w0rk just doesn't really do that much so much...heres to hoping I remember some terms for my exam Thursday.
