Write Because ...

If just a single word can change the course of a person's day, just think about what writing something more might lead to. Writing leads to an endless amount of thoughts for a reader, but starts with an endless amount of ideas by a writer. There are countless amounts of reasons to write and topics to write on. Writers think of reasons to write and topics to write about. Writing encompasses an endless capacity of ideas, and here is a list of reasons why you should write too:


1. Write because you're privileged enough to know how to.

2. Write because you have something to say.

3. Write because it helps express your thoughts.

4. Write because someone told you that you have the potential to be a great writer.

5. Write because someone told you you're no good at it.

6. Write because you're happy.

7. Write because you're angry.

8. Write because you need a new hobby.

9. Write because of the way it makes you feel.

10. Write because it inspires yourself.

11. Write because, sometimes, you need an escape.

12. Write because you need a moment to yourself.

13. Start writing by a word.

14. Write for yourself.

15. Write to inspire others.

16. Write because it matters.

17. Write because it helps.

18. Write a story.

19. Write a poem.

20. Write a few words a day.

21. Write 1,000 words a day.

22. Write when you want to.

23. Write because it feels good.

24. Write because it makes you happy.

25. Write fiction.

26. Write about reality.

The list of why you should write is never ending. The reasons are all so simple, yet, many people don't take the time out to write even the simplest of sentences. Writing is not something that has to be done on a daily basis, but on your own time and at your own leisure. Some people write fictional stories that take us through the journey of their imagination, while others write a more realistic story in their private diaries that take them through their own journeys. It does not matter how you write, what you write, or even how often you write, as long as you write. Whether you write to inspire others or yourself, it doesn't matter. All that counts is that your writing means something to you.

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.
