Why I Write?

You ask me why I write. The answer is very simple. I write for many reasons and no reason at all. I write to share stories with friends that I miss and have not seen over a period of time. I write in order to get information from my teachers, news and other places. I write to express my feelings. I write for the knowledge of learning something new about the world we live in, which is full of mysteries (like does big foot really exist or is he a creation of someone’s imagination), the people that I am around and myself. I write because I am not a social or very good at speaking what is on my mind. I want people to be able to hear voice and to know that I am here and not just a voice in the wind that is barely heard or seen. I write in order to receive and share new information with others. I write to express myself and releasing some stress the only way I know how to. By taking a pen or pencil and jolting it down on paper. I need to get these things or ideas that are in my head and chest down or else I feel like there is a heavy burden on my shoulder. I do not write to please others. I write because I get satisfaction from turning my ideas or simple everyday words into images that all can see and can last forever

We use written symbols to express all kinds of messages: to share stories, note financial transactions, record history, imagine the future, to express love, hatred, humour or melancholy. Writing gives us access to knowledge. We can trace how an idea has changed over thousands of years, or argue against the opinions of those long dead, all because the discoveries of others have been recorded and collected.
