Introverts and writing

I love writing. Personally, writing is something that makes me a sane person in this insane world of chaos. When I need to clear my mind, when my life is moving from bad to good, and when my feelings are getting the best of me, I turn to writing. Yup, that’s me…I never realized the beauty of writing until I turned 19.But that doesn’t mean I didn’t like writing or never did it. Nope, I used to write a lot even back then, I still have my small collection of old diaries from back when I was young when I used to imagine myself as Anne Frank. But I just hated being forced to write like they made us do in school. I am not the essay or scholar girly. I am just a girl who loves to write about emotions, deep-down thoughts and prayers, and most importantly, me. Writing was a way for me to dig myself out of the pothole of vulnerability and suffocation of not being able to talk well with people. My hate turned into love right after I was done with high school, and I realized one day that I missed the feeling of finding myself when writing. How amusing isn’t it how our brain works!! Our brains process everything we do, yet it’s crazy how much my brain prefers one method of communication over another.

Whether it was a good or bad day, I often wonder how individuals like us would have managed if we couldn’t record our thoughts and feelings on paper. I can see my brain exploding from all the crazy thoughts that I would have kept inside because I didn’t want to open up to a human…
