Why I Write
Writing has always been a struggle for me every since I started. It’s hard for me to put my thoughts and ideas into words on a paper. I can stare at a blank paper for hours before coming up with something to write. My thoughts get stuck in my brain and I have a hard time getting them out. I can have ideas on the tip of my tongue ready to be written but I just can't find the perfect words to write. Therefore I just don't write anything at all.
My mind wonders constantly and I think of cool and interesting ideas. But they stay in my head because im not sure how to get my ideas out into the english language. My mind sings. My mind dances easily. But it takes me extra time and extra steps to get my thoughts out into words, onto a paper. Thinking of 100 more words to write is scary to me. 100 more words of I don't know why I write. 100 more words of its hard for me to write. 100 more words of I have trouble writing down my thoughts. The battle of writing is never over. I have to write for every single class especially writing class.
I write to express my thoughts. I write to get across my feelings. I write to prepare myself. I write because that's how I have been taught to communicate with others in a professional setting. I write because, thats what is expected of me. I write to apologize. I write to love. I write to challenge myself. I write to remember.
I write for a common experience. I write because humans connect with similarities and love the connections gained in a common experience. I could write about my depression, anxiety, adhd, or gender dysphoria and give someone something to relate to and not feel alone.
