Why do I write
I write because I like seeing what I feel
In a tangible form it makes me feel warm
Less alone less unseen
Someone that has a proof of his existence
His resilience
At every decision taken with feet in quicksand
Because I have too much on my mind
Yet nothing in my hand
That is why I write
I can't live in black and white
This way or that
And for that
I write so even when I forget why did I do something I regret later on
Even when I continue loving someone after moving on
I have my notes telling me that it's what I felt to do at that moment
And it's only because I write I have never felt resentment
Towards myself
Looking in the mirror
No lies lived
Only truth that's documented
I write
Because my vision is my only possession
Not the one that helps my eyes to see the sunset
But the one that comes to me mid shower
And it is more than a poem
A promise to my past that it won't happen again
A challenge for my future to not let it happen again
And what about my present?
It is everything I am doing right now
Writing
Solving questions
Talking with friends discussing the new season
Of Bojack Horseman or Parks and Recreation
And of course write
Again
Because that's the only thing that doesn't feel like a fight
It comes easy

Beautiful. You describe exactly the reason why I write as well. Not only you're putting words on paper and expressing emotions, you're also documenting important events throughout your life. I appreciate this piece, and for that, I also award you gold.
