Would I write if no one read what I wrote?

Would I still write if no one read what I wrote?

I ponder the question and need to ask myself first, why do I write?

I write because I am called to write.

It is who I am.

It’s how I communicate best.

It’s how I think and process thoughts.

It’s how I figure things out and find my way.

I write because I am called to write.

My grammar may not be perfect.

And spelling can be a struggle at times.

But, I don’t let either stop me.

I share the words that come from my heart.

I want my words to inspire and offer hope; to encourage and support.

I see so many sad people and it breaks my heart.

In some small way I want to help.

The way I know best is through the written word.

Poetry or prose.

One thousand words or a single word.

An unknown author or a close friend.

A short note or a long letter.

It matters not the form.

It’s the words themselves and the meaning and hope they hold.

The written word has saved me throughout my life.

It’s a gift I want to share and give back.

So that’s why I write.

But, would I write if no one read what I wrote?

I would have to say, yes, because it is who I am.

It’s how I communicate best.

It’s how I think and process thoughts.

It’s how I figure things out and find my way.

There is always one person who will read what I write and that person’s me.

But, I hope, that others do, too.

And, I hope they like what they read.

I hope in some small way that my words can help others, just as others have helped me.
