“Why do you write?”
The most common question that every writer ever heard, but I have never come across such questions because people still don’t know that I write, and neither I consider myself a ‘writer’. For me, writing has always been a way to spill my thoughts. While I was a kid, I liked writing, but never knew that writing has this much power.
In my teenage days, I realized the power of writing. Actually, like other introverts, I also hated sharing my thoughts with anyone, but as I entered my ‘teenage’, my mind started messing up like any other teenager’s. So I took up pen and paper and tried to write down each thought that made me anxious.
Writing has always given me peace. For me, writing down my thoughts is the only way to get rid of anxiety. Trust me, writing down anxious thoughts isn’t as difficult as showing those write-ups to someone, and that’s the reason why I have never shown my write-ups to anyone. I write just to make me feel well. I don’t know how arranged my words are; I don’t know how crisp my content is, what I know is expressing my exact feelings on the paper.
YKA is the first platform where I am openly sharing my thoughts, and I joined this platform because I am studying journalism. I never wanted to be a professional writer, but now, I am trying to learn how to articulate thoughts, and I’m quite excited to see how far I can go in this field.
