The Story Of Why


The question that repeats in most minds that asscioate with me, tends to get rather tiring. "WHY  DO YOU LIKE TO WRITE SO MUCH?" " I like to write because it helps me." *que questionble face and they walk away and talk about me and ask others if I'm depressed* So here I am,to explain the unanswered questions. Wheather itd be read by my family, friends, future companions, my angels, this is for you.

I write in the weirdest ways, such as I write as if I'm dying the next day. I say what I want to be heard but only on paper. I try to speak for those who never had the chance to. I write to say the words I could never form in times I wished that would just pause. Sometimes I just love to write non-sence and in the end its interesting to see where my mind goes when I don't hold back.

I love writing. I can't express how those 3 words could make me happy. I feel everyone in this world has gifts, I say that because my mum always says it to me and the more I hear and think about it I think its true. There was a time period where I felt that I didn't have any gifts and I was a complete waste. I can't tell you how I came upon writtng, maybe it was the books I read or music that inspired me or the endless movies I saw or even the surroundings I took in. Whatever it was it was a blessing that I will never forget.
