To become a writer, you must give yourself and all your thoughts away to the world.
Her inhabitants
Her beauty
Her vastness
When you become a writer,
the way you think changes
You see things that no one else is aware of (besides other writers)
Life becomes a game
It’s you against everything in the world
Some days, this isn’t a problem
Some days, it is
When you become a writer,
You must accept the fact that you’re different
Different from all those people living their lives in the dark
You see and are aware of the immense beauty and heart wrenching sadness the world has to offer you
When you become a writer, it’s your job to help people see things in a way they never have before
Show them the worst side of the world and terrify them
Or show them a light that always can be seen
You must be willing to sacrifice your peace and sanity to express thoughts that no one speaks about
Ridicule is inevitable, but it is ******* by the fact that some one out there will read your writing and be able to sympathize with it fully
What you write could change someone’s entire life
We all hold truths about the world, and as a writer you are the most inclined to share the truths you are aware of
You must offer them a different point of view, even if it’s just a span of a couple lines on a page.
If life is a plane, writers provide the passengers with a window seat
