Self-Help Through Writing.
Self-Help Through Writing is an online activist group that recognizes social diversity and encourages individualist expression. It is an opportunity to explore a range of issues, such as: Class, race and sexuality, which stem from a person’s desire to self-improve, whether it be through an economical, intellectual, or emotional manner.
Why Was This Service Created?
This aim of this philosophy is to encourage others to recognize their capabilities in pushing for a better change, with the view that personal development is of greater worth than being part of holistic society. Individualism stresses that the Individual is the unit of achievement, holds that every person is an end to themselves, and that no person should be sacrificed for the sake of another.
By enhancing self-knowledge and identity, the hope is that one can then recognize their potential as an individual, and strive to fulfil their aspirations and dreams.
What We're Looking For
We welcome articles, blogs and poetry that function as self-assessment; i.e. writing that is concerned with the questions and answers, in regards to an individual's characteristic approach to life. The subject can range from anything, such as class to sexuality, just as long there is a desire to achieve an understanding from the personal account, and/or a willingness to educate others. This needn’t even be to the standard of some of the world’s most critically acclaimed Literature, so don't worry so much about technique and/or writing not being your profession. Sharing one’s experiences is primarily the key here (just as long as the spelling, grammar and punctuation are to a plausible level), so go with your train of thoughts. To view examples click here.
The Individual is the sole source and motive power of evolution and progress with the desire not to be easily mislead by traditional means, in an attempt to pursue his/her own growth and development. By expressing ideas, this accounts for gaining control of one's life and achieving wisdom; this too, inspires others to manage their emotions through words, as an exercise of self-efficiency.
