Writing

Writing has always been something I enjoy doing. I was picked on as a kid and found talking to people to be hard, so I wrote what I wanted to say. I would write stories and things I wanted to see happen or see stop.....and it just started from there.

I moved on to writing thoughts and stories based on those thoughts. When you don't have anyone to talk to, you talk to yourself. I wanted someone to hear me. Someone to listen, but no one did. I turned to music, which is something I love as much as writing. I now write about stories I get from a song or thought from a song.

A friend of mine asked me this same question, and it took me back to when I was pushed around. Back to the "Why do you (blah blah blah here)" questions. I really had to think about it. When you are alone, you think a lot. You think so much, you start to question why you are even here. You go insane almost. What better to do with the thoughts then to write them. No one needs to see them. No one needs to even know about them. It makes you feel like you belong. Like you matter. You write a story and that characters life is in your hands.

Im not the best writer, but that's not why I write. I write to speak my mind. I write because no one can control what I write. I write because the words are how I feel. I write to feel normal. Writing is that mental freedom. I can create a wonderful world where everyone is happy, but I can also create a world full of hate and destruction. There is no limit to what can be written. The only limit is yourself.

I write to get what is in my head out and clear my mind. To tell a story. To be heard.
