Writing in My Life

Simply put, my relationship with writing is complicated and paradoxical. While I believe writing is the easiest and clearest way to express myself, I also find writing to be extremely difficult.

During my childhood, I was always writing stories, scripts, and articles. My mother said that she never found me without some sort of writing utensil. Yet, as I grew older, I lost this passion for writing. More than anything, I began to view writing as a chore. At the same time, writing intimidated me. Perhaps it was the process itself, which can be long and arduous, or low confidence in my abilities. A lack of patience also contributed to my dislike of writing.

Now, my feelings toward writing are evolving. My passion for writing was reignited in high school, when I became involved in high school. As a college student, I find writing to be not just a necessit
y but also the easiest way to express myself. Nonetheless, I still find writing to be hard.

I certainly agree with your post, I think that writing is difficult. But one must wonder would writing really be as enjoyable if it were considered to do?
