Why I Write

I love how you can express yourself with writing, molding and twisting words to craft something that could impact millions. What starts with a single scrawled sentence could turn into something so much more. Writing opens doorways that used to be sealed tightly, allowing you to explore new things with your words leading the way, a flashlight illuminating the pathway to the future. Words are the most powerful weapon that humanity has in our arsenal, despite the fact that not everyone can use them. I write because I am lucky to be a part of that legacy, because I am lucky to have the privilege of expression through my writing when others do not and I believe I should use that to the fullest extent of my ability, that all writers should, so we can work to change the future and allow everyone the freedom of expression. I write for hope and for freedom, because I hope others get to experience the freedom that comes with writing even though they currently cannot. I dream of the future because I am able to, a future where we all get to experience speaking our minds and, and I dream to shape that future with a pen in hand.
