I Need to Get Back to Writing.....

With teaching, writing for pleasure has fallen to the wayside.

I can't let this happen.

Writing is the one way I feel like I can express myself and fully show the world who I am, what I feel, and what I believe.

I need to make time to write.

I know I have made this type of statement before, but I never really noticed how badly I needed writing. Without it, the only writing medium I have is Facebook which isn't exactly the community that embraces writing beyond "I just got engaged!" or "Today was such a good day!"

I need more than that.

I see so many things in this world that make me angry because they are filled with injustice or harmful to society. I vote, I donate money, and I volunteer. These all get my voice out but not in the way that writing does. Writing gets it to everyone where as those only seem to get my voice to people who agree with me.

I am aware that there is a strong chance that no one will ever read this blog. But I don't care. I need to do this for my sanity. No one else.

I need to write.

I need to have my voice heard.
