Writing is so crucial when it comes to expressing your thoughts and feelings. Not only does it help you express your ideas in a matter that is just right for you, but for the ultimate factor that people may agree with you or want gain more knowledge about your topic. Which furthermore strikes up an interesting and debatable discussion. Joan Didion, the creator of creation, expresses in “Why I Write” that “writing is the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind.” Writing can be a passage way into something you never thought possible and make you look at certain situations completely different. Writing was always something that I thought I could improve in, but knew I had a passion for. My English teacher in high school told me that I had a certain style to my writing, especially if it was something I was passionate about, that caught his attention. That really drove me to be better and to write whenever and whatever I wanted. Even if it was in my notes app on my phone or on a notepad for random thoughts, so be it, if I was writing that was the only thing that mattered. I write for the pure feeling of mine and others pleasure. When I see someone inspired by something my fingers typed makes me feel invincible. It is truly an incredible feeling. As I dreamt the night before I usually forget it by the few minutes I start to awake into the day. I know that my mind is at is at its full potential at night, I think of every little thing and how it could affect my life and others. Some may say that is overthinking but, if your mind wants to take you to that particular area then let it. Don’t fight your natural instincts because then your thoughts become a false accusation and something you don't truly believe in. Writing can really ease my mind, sometimes people have built up anger because they have no where or no one to express their feelings towards. A piece of paper and a pen will most certainly listen to you and have no judgement what so ever. Another thing that helps me stay at ease with myself is that I sing. I love music, I think that it is all so intriguing to listen too, except for heavy metal I get too scared to listen to that. Music is also a creation of our inner thoughts, and one of the biggest influences in society. We all perceive songs differently but, we are all listening to the the same rhythm, melody and lyrics. I find music that really connects with my thoughts and my vocal range to express the emotion I feel at the particular moment. Have I ever written a piece of music? No. Do I think I can? Absolutely. As I grow older, I realize different things and store them into my own personalized storage area, my brain. I know that I often underestimate myself and think that I can’t do that or I’m not going to do that. In dangerous cases, I know I won’t and I can’t. But for cases that will enhance my knowledge and experience of life , I certainly will.
