I remember some people used to say, “I write to help me with my feelings.”

I never used to believe those people until I tried it myself.

I took up writing poetry when I was really young. I never really used to pay attention to when I would write or how I would write until about 8 years ago. I started to write about my feelings, certain things that I remember, or that happened to me. This writing really helped me to put things in perspective sometimes. Other times it just helped me to get things off my mind.

I believe that writing is a form of healing. It is good for the soul.
