I write.

I write because it makes me feel alive.

I write because I morph into my character. I hate it when I have to kill my favorite characters. I love it when characters I hate get into a sticky situation.

I write because there's something scary about looking down at a blank page. What will I write? Will it work out? So I bring on the pen.

I write because I enter the golden gates of writing, instead of escaping the real world. I snatch bits of Real World here and there throughout my stories, making them more real to me.

I write because, if I don't have the power of words, I don't really have a power at all.

Drops of Jupiter makes all my emotions at that moment define themselves. Whether it's sad or happy, energetic, or lazy, it comes out intensely, almost painfully. My heart swells and jumps when I listen, and if I'm feeling sad at the time, I will start crying. Drops of Jupiter makes my hopes and dreams raise and soar, like I could achieve anything. Sometimes, if something is bothering me but I can't tell what, I'll turn that song on, pump it full volume, and let my feelings sort themselves out. There's something in Drops of Jupiter that makes it so I can repeat it over and over but never get sick of the tune or words. Oh yeah, that's another thing- the words. They are not about dirty stuff like night clubs and partying, it's about finding yourself, finding who you really are. That's why I LOVE this song.
