Why write?

Telling stories is the only way I can make sense out of the world around me. Writing is one of the most challenging yet rewarding things I've ever done. There's no feeling to describe writing except maybe satisfaction. It describes my life in such a powerful way that I could never explain in just a few simple words. I tell stories to help people understand or even myself because half the time I don't. I may not know why things happen to me but writing them down and reading it later just makes me a stronger and self contained individual.
