Why I Write

I want to explain to everyone why I am doing this blog in the first place. Yes, I love writing and yes it is a way to express myself. But for me, writing is way more than that. More than what other teenagers deem......... boring and tedious. For me, writing releases all the stress of life, like work, peer pressure and just crap in general. I love how i can just put pen to paper and just write. i love the fact that instead of cutting or hurting myself, i can release anger through writing (as well as through dancing or boxing but that is another story). I know that this sounds really stupid coming from a 15-year old sophomore girl. But, i like being original, if you haven't realized that by now. Poetry, essays, free-writing, and song writing all help me release and they all express who I am. Not someone who has to hide, but me. Through writing i don't have to be a goody-two shoes, a girl who obeys people because she has to. Through writing, I feel free.
