[Aaroneet]

I think it does. The reason I've been able to write as well as I do is that I awakened that side within me; I've awakened that aspect of my subconscious, if you will. I remember envisioning a proverbial chest shut tightly; inside were all of my repressed feelings. I let them escape; my hand shook and I couldn't control my incessant crying-fits. But it gave me insight that I can't really explain; it's almost as though I write vicariously at points; I am able to tell when someone's suffering within. And it's rewarded me. It's led to tears, both of joy and misery; I'll give you that. But socially and internally, doors have opened to me that I never thought existed within such a simplistic creature. It's within all of us to do as much; it's a constant battle, but you will be changed forever, and rewarded for it.
