Writing

 

            Writing is my escape. When I pick up my pen and set it to paper, I feel as though my fears and worries have flown away. I write things that I am too afraid to speak aloud. When I write, I am empowered. I feel as though I am able to express my feelings much clearer when I write. I am in my truest form when I write. Any pretenses I have upheld are cast aside. I do not write to please others; I write solely for myself. It is entirely relaxing to just cave into myself and see where my writing takes me. It can be quite an adventure, even if I never quite leave the room. It is an adventure of self-discovery. I am able to see the real me when I write. I am completely free of dictates and expectations. I can get a sense of where I am at in life and how I truly feel about everything that is happening around me. This is extremely valuable because how am I supposed to progress in life if I do not have a clear sense of who I am? Once I truly understand my current perspective I will be able to examine the perspectives of others. I have the ability to create a message. I am in complete control of this message. I can decide whether or not this message will be shared with others, or if it will remain known only to me. The pages of my journals are filled with my memories, my tears, my laughter, and my pain. These journal contain me. In a way, I am leaving a part of myself behind. This thought fills me with peace and serenity. Someday someone might find these journals of mine, and they will get to read about my ideas and my experiences. Maybe my journals will be able to add to their own perspectives.
