Writing helps to organize your thoughts, helps with language and understanding. Brings about the bad and good feelings; releases them in a healthy way. You can breath with creativity and imagination. Writing is like a safe place for me; a way for me to live in a different way. Writing does me many things that benefit me but I have these fears that someone will take away my writing in someway, though I don't know if that is truly holding me back. There is this everlasting hesitation that over takes me everyday when I want to write. I don't know why, no one has ever really made fun of my writing but I am my worst enemy. I wish I was better...I wish I could want so badly to write in the right way.

Writing helps to calm me, to straighten my thoughts and bring me back from the void of my thoughts that consume me sometimes.

Writing does too much for me.
