Not only that, but writing is good for the soul.

These are just a dozen of the benefits that writing has to offer, even if it's just a little bit each day.

You empty your mind—by capturing everything that comes to it.

5.  Writing can help get you through tough moments faster.

Some research has suggested that writing about what is happening helps a person overcome tough moments quicker than the people who don't.

6. Memories will be easier to access later on.

Because they were written down.

7. It leads to clearer thinking and communication.

I honestly do some of my best communication through writing.

That makes it perfect as something to do at night before you go to sleep.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
