Why do I write?
A personal but still superficial analysis
I don´t know why but every day I feel a need to write something. It can be random ideas, about my day, poems…anything! I just feel like I need to take things out of my mind.
That is probably the reason why I´m the notebook crazy lady. I have loads of them everywhere! In bags, at home, office…I hate the idea of not having where to write if a good idea comes.
Sure, I can write on my phone but it is not the same.
Phones are cold and still are not the perfect substitutes to paper and pen.
But I guess that is the reason I write:
I feel an urgent need to take things out of my mind.
It is almost like if my head would explode (volcano style) if I do not write down my crazy ideas as soon as they come (and believe me, they come fast and in groups!).
It is silly, I know.
I don´t write because of a philosophical religious political financial marketing reason.
It is a personal (and even maybe selfish) decision to empty my brain as it can drive me insane with all the material it creates by itself.
It might be also a mental health decision since it makes me reflect on what I write and the ideas I´m having, besides being very relaxing and helps me with my anxiety.
So yes, if you are reading this: it is just me trying to explain my selfish decision and action to write.
