Writing

Sitting down to write is not always easy. Sometimes it’s painful. Sometimes you get writer's block. Other times you’re just tired and simply don’t feel like doing it. But there’s also times when you sit down to write and life seems to flow out of your heart and soul into words on paper. That’s the special thing about writing, even on the best or worst days, you can always take a minute or two to express anything you want to.


Writing has always been something I enjoyed. I remember writing corny little love stories in elementary school about candy land and kindergarten crushes. I also remember growing up and digging deeper and writing about the hard stuff. It has always been a really easy way for me to express my thoughts and feelings, whether that be in a stupid love story or a metaphoric piece about grieving. Either way, I have always loved it. That being said, I fell out of love with writing for a while, for a few reasons. A big one was just being forced to write so much in school, I never wanted to do it on my own time. Another was just a lack of time and not making time for it. I am also just lazy and sometimes I just don’t feel like holding a pen and physically writing. The last reason is honestly one that I am coming to terms with right now. I think a part of me was scared to let out all my thoughts and feelings, because I knew deep down it was not full of sunshine and rainbows. But, I have slowly gotten back into writing and I am so grateful for it. It is so relieving to be able to articulate my thoughts onto paper and then be able to look back on that when I need a pick me up or clarity. It’s become a really important tool in my life and that is what inspired this.


Writing is one of, if not the most, powerful form of expression in the world. It is used by every single person in the entire world and has been used for hundreds of thousands of years. There’s a reason writing is still alive today. It is the most basic form of communication outside of spoken language and that is incredibly special. The cool thing about writing, to me, is that it represents so much. It represents love, music, movies, books, shows, knowledge and most importantly life. Writing is a perfect symbolization of life itself, which I find really fascinating.


When you look at your life, you have to realize that you are the author. You have the power to write your own story and that power is immeasurable. You have the ability to create the life you want to. Obviously, life also happens outside of our control at times, but you still hold the most power out of your individual life over anyone on earth. It is possible to delete or add characters, change a storyline halfway through, find a new setting, create a new theme or even just start fresh with a new chapter. You have that power to write and rewrite your story everyday and you will continue to have that power the rest of your life. I think the sooner you realize that power, the sooner you will start to use it as a tool to let your life be whatever you want it to be. At the end of the day, this is your story and you are the author, so whatever you choose to do with that power, is up to you.


Enjoy your life. I love you and of course if it is just me reading this, I love you and I am so proud of you.
