Why I write
BrainyQuote

So, I am writing again, I regret stopping writing for a while there. My life just got majorly busy. Until I got a break and a friend encouraged me to get back into blogging. And I’m glad she did because I miss it. Thank you, Rebecca for the inspiration and for it this blog goes to you! For Rebecca. One of my bestest friends.

After stopping for so long it made me realize why I write in the first place. Which I would like to share with everyone and maybe give other people a reason to write also. So “why I write” sounds like a Dr. Seuss line doesn’t it, it sounds like a question so simple that a kid would ask it, but it isn’t simple when you think about it, and I mean really think about it. Writing is a way of preserving what you say or think or preserving what others say and think. I can’t tell you how many times I get the urge to write things down from what I hear in real life, because sometimes I hear things I don’t ever want to forget, and I feel like I will forget if I don’t write it down. So that’s why if someone comes into my room to clean it up for me (a very unrealistic scenario lol). Then they will find a bunch of small pieces of paper with random writings on it that they probably wouldn’t understand. They are things I have written down from what I have heard in my real life.

A lot of times I want to write down my clever friend’s jokes down for example a joke my friend Rebecca was in on was one about naked mole rats chewing off the leg of another friend of mine, (I checked this story out by feeling my friends real leg, so it didn’t check out exactly lol) props to them for the great story though. Or when I hear good lyrics from a song such as “ My heart beat coming your way going boom ba boom ba boom” by Niki Minaj and “I can’t live if living is without you” by Harry Nilsson and “You make me promises promise’s, you knew you’d never keep.”- by naked eyes and “ every afternoon I’m higher than the moon, it’s super fun forgetting all about you” by Phoebe Ryan (kind of digging her singing), and “Spent 24 hours, I need more hours with you” by Maroon 5, and “But I am not anything like I was, Behind my truth lies everything you want” by Sheeran.

Writing also lets you feel free, because it is a freedom. The freedom to say what you want, when you want. And you don’t have to worry about someone interrupting or saying that what your saying is crazy (this might just apply to me and not you all, I’m not questioning your guy’s sanity, but I have said some crazy things). Not that I am crazy, even though I feel like it sometimes, my main doctor, my Mom, has confirmed that I am not that crazy even though she has called me crazy before, thanks for the mixed signals Mom, jk I get it. Anyways not sidetracking anymore. Can you imaging not being allowed to write though and in some countries, this is a thing, people not being allowed to write certain things or write at all. Especially women and this makes me feel lucky that I am in the USA, but it also makes me feel like breaking other norms just for women and that makes me want to get a motorcycle and ride around the city whenever I want even at night ha! Yes so, I can say crazy things like that and no one can reprimand me for it. Because I am not in front of you, this paper is ha-ha (sorry to sound like a brat).

Also, lastly writing is a way to share thoughts that you think need shared. Meaning the important thoughts. How many people can you share your thoughts to, maybe a lot. Maybe you can give people thoughts that they have been looking for or needing. Maybe you can reassure people with your thoughts. Maybe you can interest people. Maybe you can give someone a thought that will give them other thoughts that can lead to something great such as an invention. Anyway that it can work out. So, this article just got deep enough I think. I don’t want people to sink when reading and I am feeling like surfacing and taking a break from being underwater. Underwater in the deep. Under and Out!-From a writing workaholic signed, Alberta Margaret Bosela. Ps. I found my headline with Scott F. Fitzgerald's quote after i wrote this and he had the same idea about writing being like being underwater in your mind or with a writer being stuck in their head! So i was freaking out like a English nerd that me and Fitzgerald were on the same page with our idea's. Riding the same wavelength. Too cool. Also I just wrote about writing...what?? Okay I'm done now really. I know that I always say I am done and then I keep on typing and typing even after I signed out. LOL

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
