I Think It's Pretty Simple

I think it's pretty simple.

I write because I love it.

I don't need a metaphor explaining how my heart pumps as I bleed passion in the form of ink onto the paper in front of me.

I don't need a simile expressing how writing makes me feel like a butterfly stretching its wings for the first time after breaking free from the cocoon.

I don't need to arrange an assortment of alliterations, invent killer cocophonies, or use hyperboles to tell you that my brain almost exploded thinking of what to write.

I just need to write.

And what I write might not interest you, it might not interest my closest friends, it might not interest my family. But it is what turns my bad day into one of adventure and romance, or my good day into one of sorrow and extravagance.

Because writing is personal. No matter what or who or where or why I write, it all comes back to me. I always write for a reason, no matter how trivial it may seem to the rest of the world. It helps me.

And maybe, someday, it could help someone else.

That's the dream, at least.

That's what I want to do- help people.

Give a voice to those who don't have one.

Inform others of their needs.

Make there lives better.

That's the real reason I write, I guess.

Because even though it does all come back to me, if it can come back to someone else, why wouldn't I do it?

Why wouldn't I help someone when I have the opportunity?

Why?

I don't know.

But just to make sure that doesn't happen, I'll keep writing.

And I will never stop.
