Why Do I Write?
Dear Readers,
Last night, as I switched off the lights, & lied down on the bed, turning to my right, hugging my pillow, I contemplated, that why do I write. I'm suffering from the worst, or saying it more clearly, the aimless, goalless phase of my life. When I am literally doing nothing, why am I writing then, I asked myself, looking out of the window, & lying on my bed. Is it for some fame, or money or what?
& I got my answer after debating for about half-an-hour, & tossing left & right, up & down my bed. I write, because I want to express, my ideas, my views, my very own self, & to interact with the world, with you all. To have an exchange of views, opinions, emotions between us. To give birth to the thoughts, ever dwelling & polluting my mind.
I live a lonely life. A very lonely life, with literally nobody to call a friend, & definitely nobody to call closer.
I've this peculiar, & irritating habit to speak a lot. I speak so much, that my family members have to shut me up sometimes. Lol! But I never express my depth, my weaknesses to anyone, neither my family, nor anyone else.
So writing gives me a way, to directly & indirectly express myself, to the world out there. It somehow makes me feel awaited, & needed. I had started feeling like a useless person, but when I receive your comments occasionally that you're liking my story, or you like my character, I feel like I found a new vigor to live, & to write. No No, don't think I'm suIcidal though, it's just I find a new life here.
Plus writing makes me feel authorized! It makes me feel like Almighty, creating a new world, where not even wind will blow, without your permit. Crazy idea, right? Lol! But it makes me relate with those characters. I see myself in them, in their every activity. I fulfill all my dreams through them, the things I can never do, or maybe never got a chance to do.
I do write with great excitement, waking up late at nights, & sometimes my sleep vanishes, at the very thought of writing a new chapter.
I just hope you enjoy my writing, as much as I enjoy writing myself.
May all your lives be filled with happiness, with no trace of emptiness.
Thanks for reading.
Yours crazily weird Author,
~$D

Log inInteresting stream of thoughts. I like how you've figured out why you write. I've pondered on the same question long before- (like for nine long years, ever since I started writing), but couldn't quite come to a conclusion as to why.
I hope you find peace in your solitude and whoever is meant for you will come your way eventually; be it a friend, a lover, a relative, or even a pet;) Keep doing what you like and never give up. Keep up the good work.
All the best buddy!
Neppi Sue, Thank you so much dear! Yup, I finally figured it out after a lot of introspection! & thank you so so much for your best wishes! I'm waiting, let's see what future beholds for me! & all the best to you too dear! I hope you may achieve the heights of success & happiness! :-) ❤️
After reading your blog, I remember a statement in philosophy... Ah... Don't get me wrong I am insane about philosophy, law and english.

Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.

The one who falls and gets up is stronger than the one who never tried. Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.
I'm the same too. I started writing and reading because of depression, pressure and you may not no what I face lol?. It was only a pen and paper, which gave me a reason to live... I was so depressed that... that I thought of why was I even alive.
But now I'm on my own world... with a paper and pen, in which no one can stop me or interrupt... Because it's my world.
Remember this and you'll see, success running behind you, for you.
