I choose to write because it's perfect for me. It's an escape, a place I can go to hide. It's a friend, when I feel out cast from everyone else. Furthermore, it's a journal, when the only story I can tell is my own. Furthermore, it's a book, when I need to be somewhere else. Furthermore, it's control, when I feel so out of control. Furthermore, it's healing, when everything seems pretty messed up. And it's fun, when life is just flat-out boring.
