In the reading, Why I Write, Joan Didion talks about why she writes and how it helps her. She says, “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.” Writing helps her open up on whatever is on her mind, or whatever she puts her eyes on. She uses writing to help her find out what she’s thinking and everything that is going on in her head. She uses writing as a way to speak out loud. She sees all these pictures in her head, but she can only talk about them quietly. Writing is her escape as of speaking out loud and being known about the thoughts, and pictures in her head. Everyone has different reasons on why they choose to write. I only write when I am told too. Even though I have a lot of thoughts that go through my head, and sometimes I wish I could talk to someone but there is no one there I just never think to write it down. After doing some free writing exercises I always feel very good about myself after because in those moments I can let out anything that has occurred that I keep hidden. Sometimes when I write I even surprise myself with the thoughts that I jot down on the paper. They are just very deep with a lot of meaning and it catches me off guard. I always seem to write about my future and how I picture it being. I guess it’s because I am scared I won’t be good enough. I used to listen to instrumental beats and write music over them on my life. It helped realize what I was going through and where exactly I was in life. I write every day to my brother who is at Saint Joseph’s University playing soccer on how things are going, how the team looks, and how does he fit in. I’m always worried about the future and where will I be. We the people spend too much energy on what we cannot control. Writing down about my emotions and where I am in life helps me realize what I need to get to the top.
