What I write is all mine, it’s a living thing, it’s an extension of me that wanders out into the world. It is desire turned inwards instead of outwards, focused instead of displaced. It’s a way to access self-knowledge and self-respect.
Ava • how to avoid half-heartedness
writing is a way of connecting with yourself, your deepest thoughts and feelings, particularly when the first seem mysterious and the second hard to fathom.
Anna Quindlen • Write for Your Life
Writing can excavate the heart, lay it bare. Even if its only reader is the person who wrote it in the first place, it can promote understanding, not only of others but of our deepest selves.
