Why I Write

Everyone writes for different reasons. Some people do it because it's their job. There's a handful that write because it "looks good." Then there's the rest of us that write simply because we feel like it. But that idea is still too general for me. To be more personal, I'd say that I write because it's a technique that I use to vent my emotions somewhere. Taking it all out on paper or this blog for instance is a lot easier and safer than on a person. 

I may not seem excited, aggressive, or violent on most days, but there's a lot that you can't tell. Introvert or whatever you call it, life just seems better when it's quiet and you can just sit down and record everything. It doesn't have to be quality writing...but if you just write down the most striking moments in your life and you end up looking back at it one day after however many years, months, or weeks, it's a special feeling. It's like somebody made an album of your life for you; except you did it all yourself without realizing it. I write to be me.
