How I Write

When the world seems to be crashing down around me, as it does often, I find that writing is my only option. It is the only thing in the world that I can have complete control over. I can write about anything; I can say anything; I can dream anything. Writing allows me to express my repressed feelings without worry. I can tell my notebook anything and know that it will always listen. I don't have to think when I write; the words just flow through my pen.

Writing for myself has never been a chore. My thoughts are free to reign. I have noticed though that when I write, I have a tendency to lean towards my heart. Love is a powerful thing and it has a pull over me that I cannot describe with justice.

When I am writing, it is the time that I feel truly me. I can laugh at my words and cross out my errors with ease. I am free to do whatever it is that I want to do and that feels good. That is why I write. Thats is why I CAN write.

  1. I can totally relate to this, I didn't realize it either until you put it into words. My love of writing, at the end of the day, has alot to do with control.
