Why I Write

It's more than just a hobby

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to write. I would open a blank word document and just start typing. I would type whatever came to mind. This has always been something that I enjoyed doing in my free time. For a while, I thought about going to school for creative writing, but I decided not to. I didn’t want to ruin the magic of writing. I was worried that I would get sick of it. Instead, I continued to write for fun. I enjoy writing about whatever topic comes to mind, whether it be fashion, music, travel, friends, or anything else I can think of. It’s an incredible feeling and one that can turn any bad day around.

Sometimes writing can be hard. I can face writer’s block and the struggle of not having anything to write about. I can stare at a blank document for hours and still have no idea what I want to say. It always leads to a moment of panic where I worry that I have nothing to write about. But once I figure it out, it’s the best feeling. I end up being able to write something that I feel good about, something that I’m proud of, and overall something that I enjoy reading. It may be difficult at first, but it always ends up being worth it.

Writing is the perfect form of self-expression and creativity. It’s a way for me to express my thoughts and to have my voice be heard. There is something so freeing about putting my thoughts and ideas onto paper. I am able to relax and just write whatever is in my mind. It’s a way to release my mind from the stress of schoolwork.

It may not always be the easiest to just sit down and write, but it always ends up being worth it. Writing takes my mind off of school for a while and I always feel proud of the work I’ve created. I love to write and I don’t think my love for it will ever die.

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
