[quote=Sita Strangling]I write for so many reasons. It is a powerful medicine for the soul... not just mine, but for the people who read it, and identify with it. I began writing as a child because it was the only way to wake up from the nightmare that was my life. It was my only escape, until I found drugs as a very young teenager. Even then, I needed to write to escape the brand new hell I was creating for myself. I wrote about the things that brought me to addiction, and then I began to use my writing to pull me out of those addictions... and finally now I write to understand myself, and the things that helped me choose the paths that I followed. There is no drug on earth that can inspire the emotions that the written word can. There is no better high, no better escape, no better release than bleeding your soul out onto a piece of paper.

I write to live, to breathe, to love, and to share. Thanks to all of you guys for sharing too!!![/quote]
