Why I Write

I write to express my feelings and to use my voice, even when I'm scared to.
I write because it calms me and amuses me.
I write because it feels human to put a pen and paper together to make something meaningful.
I write because it's powerful.
I write to tell the truth, not to keep the truth concealed. 
I write because that's what I want to do when I grow up.
I write to keep memories.
I write because I can express my passion
I write to put down my ideas so I don't forget them later
I write to have a voice
I write to my grandmother, who is dead because it gives me a sense that she is still alive.

Why do you write?
