First steps – The Glory of Writing

Well, here we go, first one out. Exposing my inner thoughts to the world. Not that all of them may be so personal or something that should remain privet (who in their right mind would post such on the internet?), but from experience I can imagine these bloggs might be more like diary entries for me. Writing is a way of expressing yourself, a method I've been using since I was about 8 years old in diary form, poes, lyrics, etc. For some reason I find it easier to get stuff out of my mind through writing rather than talking. It has been somewhat of a problem at times, but I find it to be the best theraphy for me. It's a wonderful way of learning to express yourself while it also increases your vocabluary and reading and writing skills. The greatest effect, however, that writing and literature has, in my opinion, is that it expands our minds. Maybe I sound like a geek, or then the IB (International Baccalaureate, my former school), has brain washed me too much (any former or active IB student will understand what I'm talking about), but you know what? I don't care, and no one should be ashamed for having an a passion for something, for writing is both my theraphy and my passion.

Many of the worlds greatest people were misunderstood at first or considered to be weird or abnormal. The thing is, new thoughts require new thinking. It's a cicle in itself. With this I don't mean to raise or praise myself to be anything higher than anyone else, what I mean is that we should find more ways of expressing ourselves. You might not believe me, but I believe there are hidden treasures in every person just waiting to break through. Some have the potential to be great thinkers, creating new philosophies giving us a new understanding of the world, ourselves, the ways of the universe. Others have the ability to heal with their words, to bring comfort and hope to others in times of desperation. Others still can bring huge inpact in high society, changing the way we live through for example politics, media, leadership or mentoring etc. The list goes on forever. In short, we should allow ourselfs to express ourselves much more and not be afraid of what other people may think or say. One way to do this is through writing, and I can imagine that many, consciously or not, do this here on WordPress.

Whether or not my text here makes any sense to you, messy as it is, hopefully you can get something out of it. In the future I may or may not succeed in writing more logically flowing or sensible texts. In the end, it doesn't even matter if I do succeed or not. This is sort of my style of writing; stream of consciousness I belive is the literary term. If I'm able to touch only one person at one time or an other with my words, I consider my writing to have been successful. If not, well, then this is just more theraphy for me; the mere glory or writing
