why do I write? robin k.

I write for many reasons. I write for one because sometimes I have to for a class or for homework. Sometimes I write whenever I cannot talk to my friends either in person or on the phone, so I communicate through e-mail, texting, facebook or IM. Sometimes I also write whenever I am frustrated and just want to get out my thoughts that I cannot actually say to someone and then I just close the word document after I am done and just never send it or do anything with it. Expressing my thoughts like that helps get rid of my stress or thoughts that I cannot personally express to someone and keeps me out of trouble which is nice. I think it would be impossible not to write. If you did not write you would not be able to express yourself. People would not be able to keep up with the constant growth of technology if they did not write, since most communication is through writing online. Writing also helps people that are really shy express themselves as well because they have trouble expressing themselves out loud, but can they express themselves through writing. If people did not write we also would not have any books to read because of no one writing.
