My Relaxant

What is the definition of writing in your opinion? Is it only writing sentences on a piece of paper using pencils, pens, etc? Or by following the development of technology, is it to dance your fingers on the keyboard or tab or pad, etc to produce sentences? Do the sentences we create through writing have to be meaningful? Or writing is just writing? By just writing I mean we don't need to write to impress others. We write because we want to express, we write with no specific intentions. If our writings can inspire others, it's just a bonus.

To me, writing is a very important medium to express my thoughts, opinions, feelings, and emotions. I think my brain doesn't have enough capacities anymore to accommodate my thoughts and opinions. Moreover, my heart already waved a white flag indicating it can't contain my feelings and emotions any damn more. Yeah, writing is the only best medium left for me to talk to myself since my brain and my heart are more than exhausted to listen to me.

Through writing I can communicate with my own self that helps me to recognize and understand myself more. I can know what I need and I don't through writing. I can know what I like and I don't through writing. I can know my position towards problems happened in my surroundings and in society through writing. I can know my strengths and my weaknesses through writing. I can measure my maturity through writing. Through writing I can evaluate and judge myself.

The most significant value of writing is it can help me to relax. If I have problems making me stressed out and really down, I usually vent my feelings and share them with myself through writing. With every letter, phrase, clause, and sentence I type, my burdens slowly decrease. I can be calmer and wiser in facing problems I have. Yeah, writing is really a great mood-booster. When I'm in bliss, I can share my happiness with myself and immediately my happiness multiplied. By writing my happy moments, I can realize how blessed I am and it teaches me to be grateful with all things God always gives to me. So, my definition of writing: writing is my relaxant, either in sadness or happiness.
