Why Write?

I think people write because it is a way of perserving thoughts and ideas so that other people can see them later on. Especially in history the ability to write and record things was a huge deal, and there are many documents that are still referenced today. Writing makes our thoughts more permanent and can provide future generations with a view of what the past was like. As for writing for enjoyment it can be a good way to express yourself artistically. Writing is also a good way to clear your head. Sometimes for me if there is a lot bothering me i just write about everything, whatever im thinking and i do this because it can relieve a lot of stress and let me vent without making someone listen to all my little problems.
