I Write Because

A Perspective on Writing

I write because it is as natural to me as breathing.

I write because of some things; I am not able to speak.

I write because the little girl in me desperately wants to tell her story.

I write because I can.

I write to calm myself and to understand a life experience.

I write because it is a safe way to express my feelings.

I write to release the depths of my Soul.

I write as a private connection to the deeper me.

I write to tell the truth, to offer a glimpse into the life of an abused child.

I write so someone with similar experiences won’t feel like they’re the only one.

I write to cleanse my Soul of life altering memories.

I write because I have no choice but to write.

I write in the hopes that my words can make a difference in someone’s life.

I write simply for the unexpected insights that pen to paper bring.

Realizations that would never come to light without the act of writing.
