Why I write?


Why do I write? I write to inspire the inward desires of those hearts that were made for this art. You see writing is a form of expression. Instead of using mildly brutal violence I fight with my words. I fight ignorance, the world’s worst enemy. But the world turns this foe into a friend that has no end. We as a people embrace stupidity. From YouTube videos that promote buffoonery. Yes it’s cool to laugh and have fun, but at what point can we be a society that is taken seriously. I write to get my feelings and dealings of the world on paper. Being a Christian means I study for a higher major. For my faith drives the fuel on why I write. Long ago there was a little boy who was shut in and didn’t live at all. Till one day this boy took a fall that would lead him to a call. Now this call was a call to inspire and motivate. So this boy became a man to write despite the haters the religious debaters and even his friends who were not striving for greater. Yes you guessed it that little boy was me. Even while I was three it was my destiny to make others free.  I know that this gift was not just for any reason but right now is my season to give my gift to all who need it. So again to answer the question, Why do I write? I write to live, to be heard to match pronouns and subjects and create Proverbs. So I write to express my test and with my best, I can do nothing less.
