WRITING

Why Do I Write?

Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash

I want to spill out my heart but can’t because I am afraid of worldly matters that does not care about the mental health Instead, focus on the physical nature of the situation.

Before writing, I wanted someone who listened to me, soothe me, and helped me in spilling out the heart who does not care about the weird thoughts I have Instead, hold my arms through thick and thin

Now, I am spilling out my heart via writing Writing gives me the taste of life Help in mentoring the self and filled the gap

Writing helps me in bringing back to life It is a pleasure that is giving the colors It is more than spilling out the heart in front of someone It helps in coping with the exhausting life

It freed my mind by spilling out the random thoughts Writing is what makes my thoughts a shape It helps in getting rid of the fears It has created a new self

I have discovered myself via writing. It is a kind of self-talk that will not put you at the risk Life is much more than living with the suffocating thoughts Spill out the heart by writing all the things you want to get rid of!

Writing is one of the good habits. It has diverse branches. You can write about the journey of living and non-living objects without hesitation. Writing is varied and diverse that covers the broad spectrum of life. It does not care about who you are, and where are you living? It allows you to do whatever you want.

Writing is free of boundaries, like the free-floating clouds of thinking. You can write about anything. I call writing — a world of extreme emotions, irrespective of identity. A writer doesn’t care about the people’s argument criticism.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Everyone has space to write, so spill out the heart — in either way. Don’t be afraid of things while writing — put heart.

Writing is your internal speaker — so speak. — Writer

You have freedom of expression, then why put everything enclosed in the heart.
