Writing allows me to construct my feelings anyway I want to. Whether its through a poem or a story, it can honestly be anything. It also helps me express my feelings better verbally. Sometimes I like to write in the beginning of the week, then go back and reflect on how I felt. Look at the changes of my attitude and write how I fell at the end of the week. At one point in time, writing was the only way I knew how to express my emotions. I wasn't good at saying them out loud because I would get overwhelmed. That never happened while I was writing though. I could write for hours and it would feel like someone is actually going to read it and have a better view of me and what goes on inside my head.]]> 2021-10-20 17:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831157296 adjo_amega https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831165358 I write because I enjoy the way it makes me feel. When I write, I get to translate the wonders of my mind into words. Words are also another reason why I write, I write so that I can describe beautiful things in beautiful ways. I love all types of writing- poems, narritives, lyrics, story-telling, all of them honestly. The moment I found out that you could translate your thoughts into writing, it became my one and only escape. I write because one day I hope to enjoy the visual representation and embodiment of my words. I write because when I used to read growing up, I became elated with joy and euphoria. I write so that people can relate to and understand me as a person. I write because I am a writer and I write because it's the best thing that's ever lived. ]]> 2021-10-20 17:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831165358 shanniknight https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831167450 I write because I find writing to be therapeutic. I may write(or type) when my thoughts become too overwhelming or when I have something I really need to get off my chest, but refuse to say it to anyone. In the past, i've physically felt the worry and stress completely melt off of me when I began to put down everything I thought of. In a way, it's like talking to someone, though they won't respond. I feel like that's what makes it like a form of therapy. Others may call writing a way to vent or just release some pent up tension. But writing definitely helps me personally to get over something and really express how I feel because I know nobody will judge. ]]> 2021-10-20 17:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831167450 adrianna_morton https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831170733 I write because sometimes my sentences are harder to form when I am constantly saying everything that comes to mind. I believe mindfulness is important as every word or phrase you make holds just as much power as a what you do. Therefore, I practice writing down my thoughts and emotions to control my perception of certain things. Another reason why I write is because as a child I never really spoke. Even now, it is rare that I am the main person speaking in a conversation. However, when I write I feel like all of my words form perfectly and I am able to express myself better. Also, I use writing as an outlet when I am unable to express myself in simple phrases. Oftentimes, my thoughts are so complex that I get lost in them, but writing grounds me. I typically write poetry because it is more of a free space for self expression and escaping from reality.]]> 2021-10-20 17:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831170733 tristan_skerrett https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831171045 I write because it helps me organize my thoughts so I can achieve more and do more because everything is written down. It also helps me because I can write what is on my mind on paper and explain it in the context of how I thought of it in my mind. I also like to write to reflect on my mental maturity and how I can use sophisticated and meaningful words in my writing. I also write for artistic reasons like trying to create a cool font or do calligraphy in my spare time to improve my control of my hand I also like to incorporate and combine these techniques into my writing to create a contemporary style of writing. ]]> 2021-10-20 17:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831171045 jacobn_moore https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172171 I write because it's a form of expression. I can express myself through writing and show other different sides of my through my writing. I think my writing can show people who I am beyond he I act I can show interest in my writing. Not only can I express myself though my writing others can do the same so I can see and learn new things about others. Writing just doesn't have to be about self expression it can be about your interest or can just be random. I know when I write I like to make sure my writing make sense and it's not all over the place I try to make sure people can understand it. Now to me writing isn't the first outlet I want to go through to express myself, but it is an option and for others that might be their preferred way to express themselves. All in all I thinking writing is a great outlet and more people should do it often.]]> 2021-10-20 17:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172171 derricka_jones https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172573 The reason I write is to express my ideas and my thoughts. I write so I can tell people what I'm feeling, what I'm thinking, and how I would feel in the future.  I write so I can carry on my legacy, my legend, after I'm unable to fully do so.  I write because I enjoy it.  There is a certain excitement from being able to tell a good story and make other people laugh, cry, and feel all of the emotions on the spectrum.  Sometimes I even write so I can improve or change things about another person's story or legend.  All in all, there are a multitude of reasons why I write and these are some of them because putting them in words would be a disservice to how many different reasons there are.  ]]> 2021-10-20 17:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172573 logan_ocampo https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172847 The reason why I write is to clear my mind and express my inner thoughts. Writing has helped me release or put out what was I thinking or feeling when I had no one to express them to. It gives me a sense of freedom and is almost kind of therapeutic. On a side note, the main reason I write now is for various school assignments. But I don't express my feelings or inner thoughts through writing as much as I did before. I've found better and different ways to do so. ]]> 2021-10-20 17:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172847 makayla_joaquin https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172978 Ever since I was young, I've always had an interest in literature. I sometimes remember during class, I would end up getting a detention for having my nose buried inside of a book instead of doing my work or paying attention to the lesson. My love for reading helped create my interest in writing—the urge to create fantasy worlds and scenarios in my mind to explore my imagination. I write to expand my curiosity and to be creative. When I get creative with ideas and inspiration, the joy I feel transcribes into splashes of words on paper. The happiness that writing can give me makes me feel as if I'm exploring another part of myself and expanding my imagination. These reasons are all why I write, to bring myself joy.]]> 2021-10-20 17:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831172978 stephanie1_ramos https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831175891 I write to express myself through words. Words are a powerful tool and when written on paper or typed on the internet, they become even more powerful. Writing is a good way for me to express my feelings, emotions and ideas when I don't want to say them out loud. Since I have a small problem with talking to people face-to-face, I find it easier to talk to them through writing. I also write to remember things and to keep my knowledge. Writing things down is probably the easiest way to remember things, and with me having a horrible memory, it helps immensely. I can just take out a sticky note or a journal and write my understanding and knowledge of things so I can go back whenever I need to.]]> 2021-10-20 17:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831175891 micah_valerio https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831176303 Writing gives me an outlet to both positive and negative emotions. Whether it's to release frustration or to express happiness. Knowing that I could look at it again and rip it up or keep it to myself, makes me feel safe. When nobody understands me, I write to clear my thoughts and anything that burdens my soul. Another plus is that nobody can judge me, which gives me a sense of relief. I sometimes keep what I write and look back at it when a lot of time has passed. I then compare what I was going through before to now.]]> 2021-10-20 17:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831176303 kimberwiseman https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831179825 I write mostly for school, when I'm told to in english class or when I'm taking notes. Writing in school helps me to better understand and remember information. However, school is not the only time I write, sometimes I write to get my emotions out. I've found that writing down what I feel helps me to lay it all out, sort it, and understand it better. Another time I write is to remember a day or event. I like to write what happened as a story that I can revisit and relive whenever I want.]]> 2021-10-20 17:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831179825 laurenceivan_mercado https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831180308 I write because it was told to do so, and it's mostly for an assignment though. However, on the off occasions I do write, I write about what has been happening around me. I reflect on what has been happening with me, the things I could control and things that I couldn't control, and think to myself what would of happened if i took the different route.  It's a way for me to cope with the pent up emotions that I keep to myself, and just slowly release it. I can express myself indirectly without having a negative tole on myself. Withought having that feeling in your chest that makes you feel like its eating you up inside. It also clears my mind and lets me start off new with the following days.  ]]> 2021-10-20 17:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831180308 eli_hernandezmorales https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831185283 I write to show feeling through words instead of saying them physically. Writing helped me express myself to others, I write almost on a daily basis. Words mean something, their definitions translate themselves in my head as some sort of way to convey myself in them. I write to tell my day, the personal diary I have keeps secrets that could last a century but can never be deciphered since I am the teller of my own story. To write for me is to tell or express some sort of story or feelings towards another, well that's what I think. The most useful thing I've learned to do aside from walking is how to write, I see words as something I can use to throw my feelings at and use it as an outlet towards my everlasting short tempered self. Nowadays I don't write very much from the lack of free time that I have, but I'm glad that writing has become something I can see and use to communicate.]]> 2021-10-20 17:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_phillips40/za63b5af4c60eomb/wish/1831185283
