A picture is worth a thousand words, and I believe the same for writing.
It’s something I have had to revisit often, because I do love to write.
But why write?
It’s a question that many of us don’t realize is becoming less of the norm. You sign a receipt, you put your initials on a document, but you don’t really write.
When I was a little girl, I had so many stories to tell. If I wasn’t yapping my imaginary friend’s ears off, I would write own many tales of things I thought were interesting at the time, like time travel, and history. I made a whole '“Historical Women’s Magazine” once. I still have it.
I would write about my own experiences with life in general, navigating change, I would manifest without even knowing. I believe in saving the art of expression through writing, which kind of makes this website redundant but also necessary because writers are few and far between now.
I can successfully say i completed the 1st one, can’t speak for the others lol.
As we’ve gotten more use to the ease of accessible technology, I believe we can find a beautiful compromise between self-expressive and revolutionary was to engage in the human desire to create. Books have not died, in fact there’s a bit of a resurgence taking place, and I’m slowly getting back into.
My goal with involving all sorts of media on this website to encourage others to engage in media again, not just consumption. I would be lying if I didn’t say I’ve become a bit of a zombie, doomscrolling and hooked on my youtube subscriptions. Writing something down phsyically is a form of manifestation we forget exists because it’s affirmative. It’s on paper. You can’t erases that (yes, even if you have a pencil).
So what will you do with your time? How will you continue to or reconnect with your chosen form of media?
