Let go

We started this week sharing about the new audio-only social media platform called Clubhouse. Let us end the week with it. This Sunday i.e. 28th Feb 2021 we from Thirteen have created a room by the name " Writing vs Cathartic Writing". The intention is to look at the difference between the two. Also, to see if there is really any difference are its just a wordplay.

For many, the act and process of writing itself is a cathartic process. It is not about the content but about the state of mind in which writing happens for them. For some its the story that gives them an outlet for their thoughts, emotions and feelings. A poem for some is the best way to express themselves and let go of whatever they are withholding. They use any medium, it can be writing or singing or dancing.

On the other hand, writing can be structured in such a way as to let go of one's feelings and emotions. It can be specifically done to express and vent out the things we want to throw out of our system. The mere process of putting it down on paper can give the effect of taking out something from one's system forever. Thus it would be really interesting to see how this conversation develops.

You are all invited to this room in the clubhouse, it's at 7 am IST.
