“Why don’t you write any more?”
“I guess I’m
just lazy”
“But you
write well…”
Is that why I should write?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Why don’t
you put all your articles online?”
“I don’t like
discussing what I write about.”
“You don’t have
to justify what you write.”
“That’s why I
don’t put them online.”

Why should I write?
I have been writing since I was seven. Or at least I have
been composing prose in my head with the intent of putting it on paper at some point.
Sometimes I managed to turn it into a word document and post it online. At times
I just put it on a paper and threw it away. Most of the times I just left those
words swirling in my head.
I’ve heard women never stop thinking. I think about the same
things over and over again, from different angles and perspectives; build a
train of thoughts, one linked to the other until I am thinking about something
completely unrelated. And after a while I’m back to where I started. The questions
remain unanswered and the dilemmas unresolved. But the words keep swirling in
my head.
I think that is why I write - to stop those words from churning
in my head.
That is why I should
write.
