"Why do you write" will always be a hard question to answer. But I'll try to answer it. And define my feelings to explain what it's like. To pour our hearts out on a paper and cry through words everytime, I write.
I write when I feel unheard, because people around me only label my thoughts as "chatter". I write because, I don't like bothering people who love me, no matter how much I'm hurting inside. I write to let all the lava (made up of my thoughts) out, and sometimes, to relive a few memories. Or to express how my imagination can go wild and how I can bring life to scenarios in my head, like it's actually happening in real life.
Whatever I write today, I believe that someone out there will relate with my words. And learn from the mistakes I've made. And realize how beautiful life could be, and find what they're missing out on. And fight for what they deserve, to get what they really like.
And one day, I'll be gone, but my words will always remain alive. And I'm sure it will matter, and read by upcoming generations. Maybe people won't remember my name, but my words ill influence their minds. And what else do I really need ?
It's a sweet addiction, because you feel relieved. And when I sit to write, I don't really care about the fact that, "writers don't earn enough". Because I win people's heart. It brings me happiness, which can't be bought by money or any other materialistic things.
