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

Writing allows women to have a voice, and it allows our opinions to be valued.

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!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.

Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
