There's nothing better than writing

Prompt: "I have a writing addiction." Prince Do you feel like this? Write anything you want about this.

If writing is an addiction, I love my addiction. I wouldn’t call it an addiction, however. It is my choice I fell in willingly. No one forced me into it. Quite the contrary. I was always told to do something more worthwhile, translation: financially beneficial. Sometimes people wanted me to be like them, going after nonsensical, meaningless pursuits that they themselves were involved with. But I chose wisely, even if it was the only wise thing I did in my life.

This is because writing is more beneficial than anything, and it comes so handy toward the end of one’s lifetime. Those of us who love writing are never bored.

As far as writing is concerned, one doesn’t need to bend over her desk day in and day out. We writers write everywhere, even when we lack paper, pen, or something to type on. We write inside our heads. We write about our tough times, our good times, others’ tough and good times, what we observe around us, and what we think and feel about anything.

Writing is the key to our living. It is as important as breathing. It refines us. It keeps us busy. It entertains us. It is our best friend. It is who we tell our most secret thoughts and beliefs.

Writing is like our alter ego. Usually, it gets itself known on paper or screen. Even when it doesn’t, it keeps an office inside our minds.

I think there is nothing better than writing.
