Why I Write

     I write because my written words are more powerful than what I say. Verbally, I am loud and funny. Quietly with the clicks of the keyboard, I am intelligent and sassy. Writing is way beyond that three page essay in MLA format. It can be whether you jot down a cute note-to-self, writing poems, blogging, or even putting up statuses on social networking sites. Those words you "tweet" in 140 characters or less is writing. Whether you are complaining about finals, asking what the rotation is, hash-tagging a current event---you are putting your thoughts down in a writing form that most likely will never go away.
     It is so amazing how we can take something that comes to our mind, which is something that others cannot know what you are thinking about, and put that into writing so others from all over the world can read it. Many people find a comfort in writing rather than talking. I find it easier to type than to speak because I always find the right words to say when I type, but when I talk it is embarrassing what comes out of my mouth half the time.
     I write because I find comfort in letting my thoughts spill out. You can backspace that thought away, but once you say it there is no going back. Maybe that is why they say "the pen is more powerful than any weapon." Anyone can take away your limbs, but no one can take away how you think about things.
