To talk to yourself is madness, to write to yourself is therapy: Mesentire

Book 2 of the "scribbles" trilogy.
"Mesentire was born at the age of 40, from the
overflowing tidal wave of emotion inside the very busy head of Ryan.
While sailing his journey through life, his vessel seemed to encounter storm after tumultuous storm. In perilous danger of his heart becoming shipwrecked, and his soul being lost at sea, words became the lifecraft to carry him safely back to shore.
Initially fearing ridicule for opening up in this manner, he chose a name for himself, by simply typing "feel me" in to Google translate, English to Latin.
And thus Mesentire came in to creation in that very instant.
Further language searches followed, and it transpired that the name, Mesentire, can be translated in 3 ways.."Feel me, Hear me, Make me feel", and whenever asked he says it means all 3.
If you pick up a copy of one of his books, you'll soon find yourself agreeing that a more suitable name could not have been found, because only a few pages in and I felt him, I heard him and he was making me feel.
Mesentire began posting what he refers to as "scribbles", shying away from the words poetry and poems due to some scar tissue that still exists from playground bullying during his school days. "Writing poetry in your teens in the 90's was not something that was openly accepted" he says "and was seen as effeminate and not at all masculine, and they (peer groups) where not shy in telling me so"
So scribbles it is.
This is where he shows himself (and I tell him so), as an artist with no equal in my opinion as a writer myself, yet again I'm corrected as he interrupts with "I'm no artist and certainly not a writer, just a silly scribbler of sentiments" .
It seems he is truly a conduit for pure emotion to flow from the heart and the soul directly on to the page, and I, like many others, am simply in awe of the way each one creates true feeling inside of the reader.
You only have to scroll his Facebook page and read the comments to see how easily and powerfully that he connects with all those on similar journeys, giving voice to all of the feelings that others are hiding away to themselves. It's this connection, how people relate and resonate, that is the superpower of Mesentire. His words fly freely (he just gives these away), swooping down to those in need, and giving an overwhelming reassuring message of "we are not alone".
Unfortunately he will not go in to detail the stories that gave birth to each scribble, and offers no background on them at all, he just says that each one "captures emotion the way a camera captures a visual memory"
and I like the sound of that.
He's out here, highs and lows, joy and sadness, love and heartbreak, life and loss, experiencing each one in turn, and taking snapshots with his scribbles, and openly bleeding on social media to show that all of these emotional responses are normal.
We all feel them and we all go through them and we all tell anyone who cares to ask that we're OK.
Mesentire simply tells us that it's ok to not be OK, and that we are not alone."
Please, if you follow him, if you read his page, if you've ever shared a scribble and felt something from them, then I urge you all to buy his book.
"To talk to yourself is madness, to write to yourself is therapy" is a masterpiece of emotional artistry, and with each brushstroke of sentiment, he paints pictures that we can all see ourselves in.
You may need some tissues, this is going to take you on a journey.
