Why I Write?
Three simple words that are answered differently by everyone who is asked it. Some people write to understand or for curiosity, while others write for fun or happiness. However I think in some ways we all write for the same reasons, to be apart of something more. Something bigger than what we are. To get lost in your own head and words just for a moment.
I write because ever since I was little I felt like I could write down what I thought or felt better than I could by speaking the words out loud. It was almost like the words I wrote spoke and explained things better than I ever could. Writing what ever was on my mind down on a single piece of paper always made me feel content. It made me feel like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, as writing each thing down helped me make sense of everything I was thinking or feeling. The fact that everything I wrote, from a short story to what was on my mind that day, printed across several pieces of paper that will still be there, even after I won’t be, makes the process even more enjoyable to me. A piece of paper full of words that no one might ever read makes writing a whole lot personal as I get to decided who sees my work.
Written words are something that I’ve come to discover to be endless. As once the pen hits the paper there is no stopping or erasing what’s being written. The words written in books, journals or just a scrap piece of paper in your room are words that will forever be in the world. Whether they change someone’s life or opinion by reading them is a different matter, as it wouldn’t change the fact words last longer than we ever will. Writing is one of the oldest ways of communication and I think one of the most magnificent way as spoken words disappear as soon as they leave your mouth, though written words stay with you for life.
I am grateful for writing as it has not only helped me with confidence in myself but it’s helped me through the hardest times in life as well as the best. Writing helps me understand not only what’s happening in my mind or life but in the world as well. During the time of pen hitting paper, while I write, I feel like I slowly start to understand everything.
So, as someone who is still trying to find themselves and what they are put here on earth to do, I have decided to write this blog on all things I love and know. Music, Fashion, Travel and Media are just a few things I will be writing about. If you could come on this journey with me, that’d be amazing.
