A friend of mine told me that writing could be a holistic cure for ached soul, a painkiller for a broken heart or at least a dew for a dry life. When she is disappointed with things that are not running as well as she wished or when she feels lonely or loses hope, she would grab a pen and diary to start writing down all the trash in her mind.

Why just sad moments? Well, that advice was given when I was drowned deep in sorrow. Of course, chirpy time should be great stuff to write so that it can boost our mood by rereading it when we are heading into the darkness, again.

Other than that, writing can stimulate our brain, still as she said. It would help our brain work on something productive, not over thinking of life issues we are encountering. So, is it true that writing is a cure?
