My love for writing began in the beginning of high school when I had an interest in poetry, and decided to take a shot at it myself. I was going through a rough time and for me it became a sort of release. It was always difficult for me to vocally describe how I was feeling, so this was an ulterior way that for me, worked so much better.

Writing is my way of expression. When I write it's like I go to a different place where I am able to express a part of myself I cannot any other way. It is almost like I am able to just spill everything that I am thinking onto a piece of paper or screen. Vocal expression is something I've never been good at, but when I write, it's like everything I'm dying to say just comes out. It's so relaxing and it's almost like a weight is lifted off my shoulder.

There are many reasons why I love writing. I love how a collection of words can have multiple different meanings, and the emotions that can be reached through a simple phrase. I love how a complex way of thinking can be brought upon by a single sentence, and how so many thoughts can be provoked. Through a mixture of words, you can create sentences and phrases that have many different meanings and can impact every single person in a different way, and that is so beautiful to me.

I am so passionate about writing because of the feeling I get when I allow my thoughts to be transcribed into something physical. It's like a feeling of contentment that overwhelms me and makes me feel at home. There are many different ways to express yourself, writing is just my way.

Writing is a very vulnerable art. As a writer, a lot of your work displays your inner battles and is a direct expression of the things you have been through. In a lot of cases, the things I write about connect to me on a personal level, so that means I'm sharing parts of myself to the world that I would not necessarily do for no reason.

I am so happy that I'm surrounded by people who support me with it as well. Without those people I would feel like my writing was pointless. But knowing that what I write could impact someone's life in even the slightest bit makes it all worth while. The outpouring of love and support from friends and family and even strangers has given me so much pride in what I do. My writing would be pointless if I didn't have the support that I do.

Not many people have a love for writing like I do. I know I'm not the best writer, and I still have room to become better, but I'm so passionate about it and my love for it grows every day. I wish more people were interested in expressing themselves in this manner, because not only can it be therapeutic, but your thoughts could be just what someone else needs to hear. The impact of a single person can be so drastic, and I am beyond happy to know that I could possibly be that person.
