Writing to light my way out of a mental fog

I used to write every morning, without fail. I would wake up, grab a glass of water or tea, feed my cats, and before checking email, social media, even texts, I would sit down to write. It felt empowering and freeing because I was really in control of my life and doing what I wanted to be doing. I was doing the things that writers do, not just saying that I was a writer, but actually being one.
