why write?

I think that there are many reasons why people write and for each person there's a different reason. Some people write because they're like Dideon, they think of the start of a story and have to keep it going because they don't even know how it's going to end. Some people do it to relieve stress and write down whatever emotions they're feeling. Some write what they went through that day because they don't have anyone else to explain to. Some people do it even if they don't want to because they have an "itch" to write like hypergraphia. Some people do it just because they're bored. I don't think there is a reason more important then the other of why people write, I think the final product, what they actually wrote, is more important. Some people can put so much thought into a story because it involves they're emotions and is coming right from the heart and have a paper that's just as good as someone who was forced to write for school and put no effort into it at all. For me I usually write because I have to for school and then when I start to write I get more into it and put emotion into it. I don't believe that the question "why write?" can be answered with a simple answer because no person is the same. We might have a very similar reason as to why but i don't think any two reasons are identical there's always something a little bit different.
