The Importance of Writing

 Think about a quote that will stick to you for a lifetime. It can be in any language, any form, or any structure. 

The fact that you are able to think of a phrase or sentence shows all you need to know about the importance of writing- words live past death. That is the same reason why books like Romeo and Juliet, written over three centuries ago, are still read in ninth grade classrooms to this day. 

This does not essentially mean that you should set out to be the next Shakesphere, but that writing is something that is immortalized, so it should be done with its best interests at heart; meaning that it should be done authentically to share one’s thoughts, discover feelings, or just to memorialize a time in an individual's life- more familiarly known as journaling or writing in a diary. This type of writing is writing that is most personal and most popular. It is an activity that we strongly request that every single person reading this should do. When we wanted to talk about the importance of writing, we wanted to share the idea that writing should not be done to gain popularity, but to remember, which takes us back to when we said that words live past death. Stories that you have written about your life, someone’s life, or even a made up fantasy kingdom with magic is something that will live on. Writing preserves the memory of the author in between pages that are forever memorialized. So, whether you think no one is going to read your writing, just know that if you do write, what you write about will live on past you and that if anyone would forget you, they would not forget your writing. 

See you next Wednesday when you flip the page!
