Why do you write?

Just as words can wound, so they can heal. – kaka Lucas 

I write because it’s fun. To me Playing with words as an adult is like a child playing with clay. And this is one big reason I write. I seat down and thoughts just cheer me up to press on that keyboard. The connection between my mind, my heart, and my fingers mesmerizes me. The emotional feelings that just take turn in my whole body goes uncontrollable and the coordination of my senses goes beyond my control. 

I write because I believe I have a story to tell. A story I may not have courage to say out loud. A story with deep meaning that only chosen written words would tell it nicely. A story only my inner circle and Me can tell it as it is to be told. Sometime only me I can tell.

I write because it allows me to empty my mind. From the heart to the mind to the fingers and then on the screen. When I’m done writing it’s like a big load off my back. 

I write because it helps me connect with the lost ‘Me’, the ‘Me’ that’s hidden at the back of my mind and only I can bring it to life. Memories are brought to life when I write. I laugh and chuckle when I’m writing. I go for ‘trips’ miles behind time and a few times I go long trips ahead of time. It’s just an amazing feeling.

To be able to write I have to read. I also scroll on social media. Not so much to appetize my senses with “idling contents” or pass time. I read and listen to the mind of other people that leads me to reflection. 

I write to control my dirty mouth. When I want to go raw with my words, I hold them back seat down and write them appropriately to whoever they may land to for words can hurt. Words can tear down someone’s heart Especially when the experience is hurting and the encounter with individuals words are ruthless hurting rather than healing.

Writing is fun, and it pushes me beyond me! Writing has helped me to express myself, my thoughts in a healthy way and so I am in the process of healing.
