Why Write?

Why Write? 
by Emma Paulini

Write because emotions flow.  Sometimes, they're are so volatile that they explode, ultimately transforming into specks of stardust.  They need to be transformed into words on a page. Blank, new, beautiful, and shattering. Ordinary or mundane.  Write because you can -- because you have a voice and the right for the world to hear it.  Or for only a select few or no one at all, whatever you choose.  Write to fill pages that can be all for yourself, so when you look back, you know you hold truth in your hands.  Your words deserve their part in your life and the world, simply because they are present -- if not already spilling from your fingertips, then shimmering below the surface like the ocean refracting light when the right wave hits.  Keep writing to tap into the wonders of the mind, and the ebb and flow of the universe.  Then, you will know there is more than simple existence.  Your words will spark you truly alive.
