To write is to be alone with one’s self, one’s thoughts, one’s intimate feelings, one’s hopes. To write is to share, to give gifts unknown to people unknown. To write is to keep insanity at bay, to reel in your madness and capture it in words. To write is to document, to preserve, to keep things alive. To write is to explore, to expand, to shrink, to encapsulate. To write is to be free.
