Why I write

Why do I write? Well considering I'm a freshman college kid taking COMPOSITION classes, I'd say it's pretty obvious why I write. But is there more to it? WEll, of course there is.
I write to say the things I am unable to say aloud. Like to the people I wait on at work who ask for vegetable soup with extra vegetables. I'd like to say, "Okay, let me go out back to my garden and chup up some for ya."

Let's not forget about the dishwasher, and how he cleans his line at 4:30 when we close at eleven. Then, he yells and throws stuff everytime a server puts dishes in the window. I'd like to ask him what he was expecting when he applied for the job, because obviously he didn't know he'd have to wash dishes.

Ever watch a movie and wish you could be in their position, or live the life they are living. Don't lie, we all do. Well since we can't all create our own perfect fairy tale, I write to make my own. I invent a world that's a little outside the lines. A place that helps you fit the tiny pieces of your puzzle together, just when it seems like it'll never happen.

In today's world, a teenager's life isn't complete without texting and facebook updates. I write down song lyrics on my facebook page. I write messages through texting telling my boyfriend he's a nerd and looks funny. Then I write to tell him I'm kidding, otherwise he'll drive to my house just to body slam me.

But in the end, the question still remains. Why write? I write to entertain, to be creative. I write because I'm bored. I write because I have to. I write to tell stories, to tell jokes, and I may make people mad when I write. I may also make them wonder what kind of drugs I may be taking. (None by the way.) It all comes down to one point. I write because I want to.
