To all the writers there:
Why did you start writing? What made you do it? Or why did you choose to do it?
My reason:
I turned to writing because i fascinated the idea of being able to put my thoights into paper. But as i grew, i continued writing because that was the only way i ever felt heard. Also because i had no friends back then. Now, i still write because i like how some random person on the earth would be able to find my poem and relate with it, appreciate it and like it. But deeper i know, even after earning a lot of friends and building good realtionship with my family, i don't really feel heard. I dont think feelings are cared about. Sometimes I feel like i just exist as a side character in someone else's movie. But writing makes me feel like the most important person in the world. Thw writing world is the only place i exist as ME. And not someone's daughter or someone's sister. I am just me.
