Writing
Writing
A few years ago, someone asked me why I write. I answered simply: to express myself. She told me that writing needed a deeper purpose, that there had to be something I was writing for.
Since then, I have explored many genres and written more than forty pieces. Now, I think I know my answer. I write for those memories that are washed away by time. I write to remember.
