I love writing! I think writing is what helped me take control of my life.
Being an introvert, it was difficult to talk about my feelings. The first time I went into depression it was words that helped me. I used to write down what I felt and those short poems made everything feel lighter. I could breathe again.
I quickly realized that writing was a way for me to vent out what I was feeling. Initially, most of what I wrote came from a dark place. The poems were about hurt and pain and the frustration of everyday life. But over time, I started writing about things that I love, about happiness, about hope.
Now I write whenever I can. I am trying to make it one of my good habits. I want to write things that people will enjoy reading. I hope to write a novel sometime in the future. I have a storyline in my mind and hopefully soon I can piece it together and finally start.
