WHY DO I WRITE?

I am an introvert and always was- even before I knew about
the word introvert. I was also shy and
insecure, and I kept to myself. Then in
fifth grade, I discovered writing. My
fifth grade teacher, Ms. McDonnell, commented on something I wrote, and right
then, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I discovered
the relief and joy of letting it all out on paper. Since then, I kept a journal and wrote my heart
out, and continued to do that into my adult years. No matter where I was and what was going on in
my life, I had a notebook.
These days, I find it difficult to get started. Maybe it is because I am in school and I have
to write so many essays, some about things I don't really care for. But I want to write again. Not to keep to myself but to give out words
of encouragement to others. To speak
life to those who might feel hopeless. I
want to write to give people a glimpse of my cracks and even more so, to give
people a glimpse of the Light that shines through these cracks.
