So I Write

I'm back. I hadn't written in awhile because I had been doing some things, but I'm back. I'm back because I miss writing in the morning before my hussle and bussle of a day. It relaxes me. It calms me before I have to deal with customers who thinks the world revolves around them. I cater to them from 9 to 5, my office hours then the world is mine. Writing is my beginning, my calm before the storm. So I write. I write because I can get whatever is off my chest OFF! I write because it is a release in a form of expression, my expression. I write because I've been doing it so long that it's my way of communicating.

When I was kid I hated reading and writing. It wasn't fun until an uncle told me that I didn't connect to what I was reading. I didn't think I had anything in common with Shakespeare. Little did I know that Shakespeare ran the gambit of emotions we all feel as humans: betrayal, love, infidelity, hope, distrust, cross-dressing (funny!), etc. It all made sense. My teacher Ms. Fairchild introduced me to Shakespeare. My favorite play is As You Like It. I haven't read that in a long time. This Friday I think I'm going to pick up at Barnes & Noble. I love to comedies and tragedies. Shakespeare showed the range of emotions, and I identified with them. I identified with Hamlet, for he had so misfortune that he didn't he was worthy of love. I identified with Othello, for he couldn't see past his conscious, Iago. Unlike these tragic characters, I see that I am special and can rise beyond the tragedy of life.

So I write for my soul to drown my sorrows. I write to understand that I have something worthy to say to world. I write to remember. I write to identify what I am feeling. I write to see the my words on a paper, for it's my words, my thoughts. I am writing to share with you all that I am. So I write.
