"Tell me, why are you still writing?
Why do you not cry when you are hurt?
Why do you not do something else?
Why always writing?"

"Because it's the only thing.
The only thing which belongs to myself.
Which nobody, really nobody can take away from me.

And it's also the only thing I have.

Actually it's the only thing everybody has.
But they're not aware of that.

I am.

Writing doesn't just cheer me up, it shows me that I'm strong, that I'm special, that I can do something.
That I can create something.
Something which no one can.

But I can in my own way.
In my own mind.
In myself.

Maybe not something really good, but for me it's everything.

Everything I have.
I always have and will have.

Something on which I can count.
I can trust, believe and fight for.

Without disappointment, pain, losses or all the bad feelings in the world.

Because writing is my world.
Just my own world.

The world which just belongs to me.
And no one else.

Just me, only me.

Maybe that sounds selfish, but that's the only thing I have, it's my everything.
All the other things in our world are also beautiful and evil, destroying, ... They're good and bad, positive and negative, but they always have that opposite side. Always. Because without the other one the first cannot survive.
That's the world.
Our all world.
This is reality.

But books aren't.

Writing isn't.

Both have also one or more worlds.
There can also happen different things.
Good and bad.
But the writer himself decides that.
And for the writer it's always everything, it's their achievement.
Their destiny, their hope, their own deep feelings they put in that.

In a book.

With words.

They let their own soul become free, they release themself.
Without showing anything to other people.

But if you read a book or a text with your full heart, you will recognize it.
You will see it as if you're looking through a glass.
You will see the soul of the author, their feelings, emotions, mind, everything the writer has inside.
Because a book always contains the inside of a person.
There are hints and marks, there are words, histories, feelings, everything, yeah just everything you can see and understand.
You don't need to be a professor for this.
Just be yourself.
Just trust what you see, what you read and what you feel.

Just write yourself.

And you will understand what I mean.

You will understand what it mean to me.
