Why I Write

Writing can often be used as an aid. Many people can find comfort in writing as opposed to speaking. In the prompt, “Why I Write,” the narrator explains the reasons he chooses to write. In my opinion, the narrator seems to be writing to hide from reality and stay in the comfort zone of his writing. He uses the art of writing to explain him in a way he believes is easier than speech.
I use writing as a way to express myself as well. I write to clear my mind. I write to remember. I write to forget. I write to stay in touch with friends and family. I write to better my writing skills. I write to plan activities and events. I write to stay organized. I write because it eases my mind during stressful teenage days. I write knowing someone will read my work if asked. I write to ensure success. I write to make mistakes and to correct them as well. I write as a pastime. I write to keep me sane. I write to explain emotions when the words are unspeakable. I write out of boredom. I write so I do not expose my true feelings to the world. I write because I am lucky to have writing knowledge and skills. I write when I am inspired. I write to inform others of upcoming events. I write when it is convenient. I write whatever I would like with the safety of knowing I can be the only one to read it. I write to document the happy moments. I write to document the sad ones, too. I write for the sake of writing. I write because of ideas. I write in order to better myself. I write because I can.
