Writing is kind of like my safe place. Cheesy I know but it really has helped me. When things get tough for me, I just to sit down with my thoughts and write. I don’t even know where I’m going with it most of the time. I just find it easier to spit every thought entering my brain at the exact moment onto a piece of paper. I’ll write poetry on the spot or even just rant about things. No one really knows I write. It’s kind of something I like to keep secret, but I guess It’s not so secret now. Writing on my own is something I love to do and I hope I won’t lose touch with it in the future. There are many things I like to do that keep me at peace like the way writing does. I enjoy hiking, running, long drives, and listening to music. What these things have in common is they let me escape from the chaos and help me relax.
