Writing Freed Me, And It Can Do The Same For All Women

All right, ladies. We can all agree that being a man in 2018 is the way to go. They speak and they are heard. Women speak, and we are not heard.

So instead of speaking, we journal, write poetry and write some of the best selling books on the market. It does not matter if writing is not your forte, as long as you get your feelings out, you've got it! You'll feel physically better too.

Writing allows women to have a voice, and it allows our opinions to be valued. Writing is easier than speaking. It is not as confrontational, and it's even beneficial for mental health.

You can be as creative as you please, whether you're writing fiction or nonfiction. It is your work, so you can write what you want to!

The best part about it, you don't have to let anyone read it. It can be all yours, and no one will ever know — not unless you want them to.

Sometimes, it is easier to put it all out there and have a feast on words. That is when your voice is heard and you choose to be free from whatever was bothering you.

I recommend writing, not just because I am a writer, but because you can create anything that you want. And if you need to escape, writing is a healthy way to go. Plus, it is fun to have no worries, to just write for as long or as little as you need to.

Writing allows free and critical thinking. Instead of sitting with your thoughts, you write them down, and they vanish as you create words — the weight you bore is now on the paper and not on your shoulders.

Does all of this sound good to you? Then get writing!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
