I write for myself. In writing, I can express the things that I can do. Through pen , I can show how much desire the writings I learn. The things that is related through writing, is the express that is showed through me.

I write for myself. In writing, there is no boundaries and limitations. I can express everything even my hidden desires and unreleased emotions. Through paper and pen, I found my peace. Not only those that I'm writing, I am also writing for the sake of learnings. I write all the things I want to learn and what I've already learned.

I am writing because for one, the situation requires me to. For example, I am tasked to write an essay as a subject assignment. Two, I am part of the school’s publication so I am required to write articles. However, beyond being a requirement, I write because it is my passion. I have tried multiple activities to find where I am good at and the thirst to prove to myself that I am good at something brought me to writing. Although, I do not claim to be good at it but surprisingly, I find it a little easy and therapeutic to write. Writing is both a blessing and a curse to me. As I mentioned, it is therapeutic to me but only when my mind is overflowing with ideas. Otherwise, it frustrates me and I even hate it, at times. When that happens, I usually sulk and take a short hiatus or write nonsensical ideas until it makes sense. Writing also has been my way out. When I feel like the world is a little more chaotic than usual, figuratively and literally, I seek comfort and peace in writing. Most of all, writing keeps me sane. Unexpectedly, it became a friend that I can always run to.

Writing is the best way to express what you feel because for me when i am sad , emotional or  i am alone paper and pen is my own kind of  "someone to lean on".   Writing is also a way of expressing your experiences in life

Why do I write? Writing is my way of healing. Through writing I can escape and wander to another and different world where I can express my suppressed feelings honestly and freely without being judged and critized. Through writing , I can express my thoughts, feelings and frustations. It makes me feel good whenever I write because even though it's just a piece of paper it is an effective and satisfying outlet. -

Writing is not really my type of talent in arts but sometimes i write just to express what i feel inside. I write because whenever im going through something and I'm struggling to open up my feelings to someone. I prefer writing it and let myself be vunerable since they wont even read it.

Writing means different things to different people. For some, it's their way to let go of the things that they are carrying and sometimes they write because it's make them happy. For me, I write because I can write there is no deep meaning or any reasons, I just write because sometimes I want to.

Writing is both a talent and a gift, can be learned and nourished. Honestly, writing is just a simple word for others, but for me it's a precious and powerful weapon to influence and empower people. I have 5 main reasons why do I write. First, it's my medium to inspire and deliver a message to others. It's my way to express my feelings, thoughts, love and gratitude to those people who've been part of my journey that I can't be able to speak up. Second, it enhances my critical and creative thinking. In writing, you should know how to organize your ideas and create an interesting topic that can catch the attention of the readers. Third, since I really don't have a sharp memory, I can put into words all my experiences and moments of life, where I can have something to look back and reflect on someday. Fourth, it's my stress reliever. Every time I write, I just feel so happy and relax and gives me satisfaction that I can have the chance  to impart new learning to myself and my readers. Last but not the least, it unmask my identity and help me to examine myself. When I write a work, I always ask myself what do I want to deliver and do I love what I'm doing. Writing for me is more than just a word, it's represents my self, my passion. I'm able to see things clearly and appreciate almost every thing in this world because of writing. -VENEZER CABRILLOS 12 HUMSS-B

"The pen is mightier than the sword",
I couldn't agree more. Writing; a force to be reckoned with, a tool that inspires and destroys. It is something that should not be underestimated. In each piece of literature read and written the ideas that are planted in our minds and the impact it has on us is truly mighty. Writing has the power to creep into the hearts of the masses, illuminating our minds and souls with each digested word, it has the power to ignite and intensify a revolution, sustaining its impact as it eludes the ephemerality of time.

This power is precisely why I write; to gain fresh perspectives, to induce creativity and provoke thought with my words as I share it with others.

Why do I write? It is a tricky question for some because for them writing is boring. But for me, writing is not just that. I am not a writer but writing gives me calmness if I write I get to express my feelings and emotions through it. It also widens my imagination. Because through writing I can write and compose a story of my own.

I’m not a fan of writing, but i’m trying to get fond of it- basically when i write, i’m doing it, it’s because i have to and i need to. But what i realize the most, is that words might’ve help me to change my way of thinking and empower myself, by simply writing all my thoughts and emotions in a piece of paper. And now, i tend to write more as i can, to help myself at ease and to keep moving forward  for my emotional healing.

I write to express how I feel. To let out the things that bothers me , that made me angry , that made me sad. I write because I think I am creating my own world far from reality. And it is easy to write things when I experience it or I want to experience those things. Writing makes me heal, because at the moment I write things that caused pain in me writing really allows me to get rid of the anger I kept inside me and  it comforts me.

In order to escape the real world, I write. Writing makes my mind wander and with this, I can feel that I'm on the safest place - forgetting all problems and sufferings this world has to offer.

I write because it keeps me away from reality. Writing brings us face to face with ourselves. They are a mirror of our faults, our strengths, our quirks, and our experiences.In writing, we tap into a collective soul. How many of us, as young readers, happened onto some random passage that suddenly made us sit up, made our spines go cold, made us almost gasp with the shock realizing that someone else was like us? Someone else knew exactly what we were thinking, maybe even before we knew we were thinking it.The more fiction allows us to resonate with all the ways we are alike, the more it also allows us to accept and appreciate and learn from the ways we are different.

Each of us have different views in writing, but for me writing is a tool for us to express our thoughts in mind. Sometimes writing make me feel relaxed and it is one way to relieve my stress because through writing I have a freedom to control my feelings and emotions. In writing I have a right to burst out myself and freely express my own point of view and it gives me peace of mind.

I write because it is the only way that I can express what I feel without being judged or critized. Writing helps me deal with my anxiety and frustrations in life, writing reminds me that everything is just a phase and I can get through this problems and sadness I am experiencing. I write for it makes me feel better after having a hard time on myself, it helps me realease all my thought, emotions, and also imaginations. When I write it makes me feel like I am in whole new world where there is nothing that can make you feel bad about yourself. I write because it comforts me and it is relaxing to do. Writing is an amazing best friend, for me that has nothing to tell all about my rants and dramas in life.

Writing is what keeps me human. It keeps me from having emotional breakdowns due to the fact that I tell nobody what I feel. It keeps me from being numb, keeps me sane. It helps me sleep every night that I deal with my sadness. It gives me comfort everytime my tears drop. It is where I put my heart, and thoughts that my mind can't speak. Writing gives me the colors that I don't see with my eyes, it is the art that I can't draw. It is that one friend who never answers, but always listens.

Why do I write? I write because it's one of the few things that allows me to be myself-- my real self. I am able to see things more clearly, and I write it to remember.

I write because I feel free to express my idea and unsaid thoughts. By writing my experiences in life, It gives me a chance to work through things deeply. It also helped me to reflect and learn from it.

When I write, I write with all my heart.
Because when I write something from my experiences, it totally helps me to realize and apply these thoughts in life. to be more stronger, to face any challenges that may life gives us.

I write to let go of my emotions, because I find it the hard way that keeping your feelings to yourself is not a good idea after all. Writing gives me peace of mind. It is a way for me to express my feelings but at the same time still can keep it to myself. My favorite time to write is when I'm angry, I write everything that comes out of my mind into a piece of paper and read it afterwards. It's a good way to remind myself to always take a step back when you're angry because trust me, whatever you wrote in that piece of paper can hurt their feelings and completely ruin the relationship.

I write because it clears out my mind and helps me get stuff off my chest. Writings gives me so much freedom to express my thoughts and feelings and allows me to be completely honest with myself. Lastly, I write so that I don't have to trouble myself on how and what should the exact words to say and the suppressed emotions that I can't say out loud. -Lara, HUMSS 12-B

# data[].attributes.body
I write for pleasure given the free time or simply feel the desire to write. It is a method for transferring my thoughts into words written on paper and be able to read them whenever I want. Writing makes me calm and composed because I can write whatever that comes to mind in a smooth flow. There is also a sense of relief that I get right after I've written about something that has distressed me for a while. I use writing as well as a medium for channeling my ideas and knowledge into words since I'm not much of a speaker.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Aubrey Maria Belandres Humss 12-A

Writing is a way for me to let my ideas, emotions, and thoughts freed from my mind, because it’s suffocating when I lock them up in my head. I think of it as my coping mechanism to counter my overthinking habit. At first, it was very difficult to do, but nonetheless, I’m slowly learning how to, and that’s the most important thing.

For me, writing is a way to express my thoughts and feelings. It is an extension of myself, the mirror to my emotions. I see it as an art, the way I play with the words and add color to it, it brings me satisfaction whenever I do so. I also love the challenge that comes with it, whether I can come up with a good writing or not, it pushes me to think deeper and consider the right words to put to portray my feelings. I write because of my passion and love for writing, it enables me to expand my thoughts or opinions on things. It serves as my voice on paper, what my mouth cannot say, my writing will tell.

I write because I have stories, characters and worlds in my head that I feel the all consuming urge to flesh out as much as I can and share it to the rest of the world .I write because every form of art or creative expression has the potential to be a meaningful reflection of society and culture. And there is nothing more beautiful than to see a world realized through imaginations and fiction.

-RODERICK B. BUENAFLOR

# data[].attributes.body
As I began reading novels and fiction, I’ve thought how breathtaking authors and writers gather their thoughts into a piece of paper. I began to examine my  emotions through writing and now I have the wonderful ability to express my feelings through words. I write because someone inspired me to show my love in a printed word, and also to give life to them and to make them understand why I think the way I do. I love writing because with writing, I don't have to be perfect. I have time to think, analyze, and can change up my choice of words. In speaking there is no back space. Writing is permanent too, but in a different way. It is a way to vent out your thoughts, as dark, hopeful, or benign as they may be.
-Rica Joy A. Aguirre

I write when I'm inspired. I write to release my stress, by writing my agonies.

Writing is one of the ways in which we can express our opinions,

feelings, and ideas on a certain topic. It helps me explain and describe

what I truly feel especially when I can’t say it to someone.

It’s also one way to speak out my mind.

I write for myself and to express what I really feel, this way I will be able to show the emotions that I am hiding. It is also an escape for me, for whenever I write I just suddenly feel alright. Writing creates a whole new world for me wherein I can be whatever I want myself to be. It really helps me a lot especially whenever I feel sad or when there's no one to talk to.  Writing is magical for it can save a lonely soul. Writing has no limits for you can write anything that you can imagine. Writing heals for it can relieve negative energies. And most importantly writing is a chance, a chance to be who I truly am. -Shanllyne Pamintuan, HUMSS 12-A

Writing is my only way to escape from this cruel reality and judgemental society. I write to portray myself as a fictional character that is impossible to be me in reality, since that is the only way I can experience the luxury of being free. Writing makes me someone who I wanted to be with a help of my reveries. In writing, I can easily express my sincerity, which is difficult for me to do verbally. -Mark S.

I write because I've got tons of ideas and it would be a waste not to make something out of it? It also a way to live an unstable life through my own creations. I also write to entertain myself,  I have perspectives, I need to communicate or express what I feel and the most expressive approach to do so is through writing. Hannah Toreses ^.^

I guess, I write because sometimes that is the only way to express myself or maybe I write because someone inspired me to do so. But, I usually write because, for me, it feels weird to feel such deep things and not be able to let it out. And the fact that you can write about everything makes it special. I do it for myself sometimes, until I get better, until I feel alive and new again.  - Alliah C. Flora

I write to express my thoughts and emotions that I bottled up for so long. Writing takes me to another world where I created, and inside my own world, I created my own reality. I write in order for me to calm down my thoughts like the sea when a storm comes, unravelling my own thoughts and emotions that is hard to express verbally. I write because it is my passion, to tell my stories to others by taking them to my own fantasies using fiction. I write because it heals my broken heart as time passes by, no more pain, only the scars and bruise that'll disappear when everything's fine.

I write because there is something satisfying about putting words into paper what can be difficult to communicate in conversation. No distraction, no arrogant opposition. Just you, being able to say what you need to say. -Jessie Jane S. Lumawag , HUMSSB

Writing for me is something systematic, something that will always be part of an individuals' traits or skills, but writing to express ones' feelings is a different story. There are many different ways to express a person's feeling but when it comes to writing your feelings, it will require ME a sense of passion if i will write something about my feelings. If ever i would write something, whether it's obligatory or for fun, I would make sure that the reader will be interested and finish it till the end.
-Ryan Española

# data[].attributes.body
I don't actually know why i write. It is just an urge to express something. Whenever i feel that inside of me is unexpressed i would write it. But most of the time, writing make me vulnerable. My way of coping up. My way of letting this bottled feelings go. Writing makes me alive. And these combination of words that composes everyone's stories is worth living for.

Writing, for me, is a way of releasing my suppressed emotions. Whenever I couldn't handle my emotions anymore, I tend to write what I feel until I get better. I prefer to write what I want to say or do than unleashing it at someone. EJ Coleene J. Rosima.
