I've been writing for as long and far back as I can remember. To be honest, I can't say that I really have one particular reason for doing it. But writing is like breathing. It's something that I just have to do to be able to live as myself in a world of smothering expectations from the piles of people in my world who can't see, feel or breathe the way I do when I write. My hopes have always been tied In words, from my prayers to the wishes one makes when gazing out at what we like to think is 'The first star I see tonight',and I wouldn't change that for the world. In my current setting I am a college freshman; my hopes wrapped up in paper.
