Why I write..

Hmm... writing. Well to be honest when I was younger I never really enjoyed writing at all. I felt like it was useless because, well, if I had something to say I would just say it. But as I got older I realized it's pretty hard to remember everything you have ever wanted to say, so I began to view writing as bearable. Its funny, my mom got me a journal for my 5th birthday and at the time I was visibly upset. And by that I mean I threw a tantrum for about a week. But I have written in that book at least once a year (impressive I know) for the past 12 years. Which brings me back to the main focus of this post, why I write. I have written in that journal because of important sporting events that have happened since I received it like when the Giants beat the Patriots in the 2007 Superbowl despite being 14 point underdogs. I have written in that journal because of important news events like the 35W bridge collapse in 2008. And I have written in that journal because once in a while I just have too much on my mind and need to put it down on paper so I can see and organize my thoughts.
