what writing means to me

Writing is like breathing to me, I can’t live without it! I write in order to keep going in life, to reduce the burden of the time that haunts my heart.  I write to kill memories that inhibit my head day and night.
When we feel that people are unable to listen to what we have to say, when our anxieties become unbearable, I think it is better to write what we have in our minds and hearts; someone out there in the world would hold the book and reads us, reads our work and it might changes that person’s life. the hope to make a difference, to change people’s life, the hope that my words would touch someone’s heart or mind, that my story might reflects someone’s else story, that my words might comfort someone sad and tell him/her that he/she is not alone in the struggles of life, that is why I chose to write.
