When I write something, I want anyone who reads it to be able to understand it. I don't want to use words that confuse - but I want it to feel elegant. I want it to be simple. I want you to get it. I want you to connect with it.
I feel like writing is expressing yourself in hope that someone who reads your work feels the way you do.
So you know that you aren't alone out there.
Sometimes, I feel like writing is a cry for help. An outpour of emotion that you can't control.
When you don't have someone to go to - you write.
You may not have one person who will listen, but you put it out there hoping someone in the world will.

Isn't that strange? We can put our thoughts on full blast for everyone to see, but we can't even manage to tell it to the one for which it's about in the first place.
