This Is Why We Write

In a world that feels out of control, it could feel like we’ve lost the ability to direct the story of our lives. But, by writing what we know, we can choose to take back that control. Each day is a blank page, a new beginning, that we have an opportunity to fill in with our words and our emotions. Writing is our way not only to take back the reins but also to see the bigger picture.

And while that empty page can look intimidating, if we open up our hearts eventually, the rest of the world will open up theirs to listen.

So, why do we write? And why right now?

We write because writing allows us to let go of what we’re carrying and put it all down on paper. It enables us to feel lighter by transferring the weight of the world from our shoulders onto the page.

We write because it allows us to get to know who we are, and we write every day because we are continually changing. It gives us the chance to get to know the parts of us that have outgrown or evolved or completely transformed.

We write because it lets us step into the present while at the same time giving ourselves the power to move through time. It enables us to go back and learn from our past and completely reimagine our futures. It empowers us to rewrite right now by time traveling through our hearts.
