I write because it helps me make sense of what's going on in my mind. When I keep my thoughts to myself, they tend to repeat and linger, leaving me restless. Writing gives them a place to go, and once they're on the page, they don't weigh on me as much anymore.  Writing is how I find calm when my thoughts feel overwhelming. It's not about talent it's simply how I cope. Every word I write helps me release something I've been holding onto.
