Writing was something I never saw becoming something so meaningful to me. So helpful.

Now, I don't bottle thoughts up, I write them down.
I use everything that has some sort of effect on my mental state to help me write. 

I randomly select topics I find interesting and create stories, but mainly...I write poetry, using a lot of memories from personal experience in life's situations.
I love using metaphors to explain stories and experiences from my life because I'm a smartass and metaphors let me be sarcastic while being able to explain myself while still having people actually understand it...
Basically, I write raps.
Poetic raps with meaning, not like the trash that's become "hip-hop" to these kids.
