What Would You be Doing if You Weren’t Writing on Medium?
Not writing is never an option for me!
My personal opinion about what it means to be a writer has always amounted to the following belief.
When writing is truly in your blood, come hell or high water, you’ll find a way to always be able to do it on a regular basis.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. I bleed ink!
The longtime love affair I’ve always had with writing, goes way back, even before I became a teenager or young adult.
I was writing and pouring my heart out in adolescent poetry, even before I turned thirteen.
And once I discovered journaling a little later in life, there has been no end to the power I derive, from expressing my feelings and thoughts in my writing.
Writing is a great way to purge and heal your personal demons, and that is exactly why I’ll always be grateful to it, and never turn my back on this truly valuable activity.
Not writing is never an option for me.
How writing has benefited me
Every individual writer has to determine for themselves whether or not they truly benefit from being a writer.
