Seeking Sanity in Truth

I’ve always been a curious child, asking why a lot and hanging onto each and every explanation. As an adult, I remain curious and I don’t always accept the answers I’m given. Still, I realize that with time I have had to learn to choose my battles. Otherwise, we’d all expire from exhaustion.

I love the world of fantasy with its fantastical creatures and yet I look at the world around me through a practical lense. I ask questions. I have been pondering this approach a lot lately and have come to the conclusion that this is what keeps me grounded in this crazy world.

Day in and day out we are bombarded by information and it is hard to know where to turn to, but if you pause and think through a situation logically you can begin to make sense of the mess. It may not be a truth we want to come to, but it is the truth nonetheless.

The important thing to ask ourselves is the motivation behind all the information we sit through on a daily basis. I spend my day working with people I truly care about and the advice I give to my friends and family and those around me comes from a good place. This is not always the case when we turn on the TV or read articles on the Internet. Sometimes it is all about what will sell. This is certainly something to think about when we consider the power of a writer.

Happy writing this week!
