Why I Write.

There are so many things one can do to express themselves, so why do I choose to write?

Writing is a tool which helps one to state facts; one's opinions, or theories; and to lay down their thoughts, feelings, or ideas. It opens up the door for a plethora of knowledge and inspiration. Because some people find it difficult to express themselves in person, they resort to do so by writing. A powerful piece of writing has the ability to teleport the reader into another world, full of enthralling picturesque. One forgets reality.

For me, writing is like a therapy to channelize my emotions onto the paper; when I can not say something out loud, I write it down. It is sharing even when no one else reads it, because I let out whatever lies in my heart. I feel lighter. It is similar to having an imaginary friend who knows everything about me and my feelings and chooses to respect me for who I am within and empathize with me at the same time.

Another reason which makes writing beautiful, is its quality to evoke emotions and an entire thought process in the reader. People rationalize. They put their gray cells to use, which is an amazing thing to do, considering how easily we run away from critical thinking.

Writing is an expression of oneself, their beliefs, and their ideologies. One should write to be able to analyse themselves and how they think. This would help them to know themselves in a deeper way. Writing reflects the writer's personality. It tells the world who one is or aspires to be. I write to express myself; to evoke a thought in my reader; and to share an idea, and receive feedback. Writing is the most amazing and powerful tool to express and communicate freely.
