Sometimes Writing Is What You Need

Why I love to write.

Sometimes Writing Is What You Need

Sometimes words become hard to speak and there's no way you can say them out loud. Sometimes the things you want to say are all scrambled in your head. Sometimes feelings you are feeling are so hard to show that you have no way of showing them. Sometimes all you need to do is write.

I've always loved to write ever since I can remember. I would make up little stories and share them with my family or I would write poems and give them to people as gifts. I could sit at a computer for five minutes and have a whole paper, poem or story done. People wouldn't be able to believe it really only took me a short amount of time to come up with something so good. Like some people enjoy doing never-ending math problems I, on the other hand, could write for days.

I love to write for many reasons, one being it helps me remember all the memories I have created in my life. Also, it's a way for me to put my feelings down on paper. Instead of crying or yelling about something I can just peacefully take out a piece of paper and write down everything I'm feeling. Then, when I go to look back at that piece of paper I will be the only one who knew what I was feeling then. I'm very private when it comes to writing, it's hard for me to hear what I have written read aloud or share it with other people. I don't know why I'm like this I just always have been.

If it wasn't for writing I would have gotten lost in my own head by now with all sorts of thoughts that would just be piled up. Writing has helped me with good and bad times and I hope it continues to help me for the rest of my life.

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.
