"Selfishness is one of the qualities apt to inspire love." Nathaniel Hawthorne.


I otherwise accidently found out not five seconds ago what writing really is. It is a quick escape from reality.

You see, anyone can write, as long as they have the time, the patience, and the imagination.

Writing unlocks secrets about oneself. It unleashes a passion to create a new persona for themselves or possibly a land in which they wish they could visit.

But there is a disturbing side to writing. it is that once you have delved into the depths of your work, once you have completely envisioned life as a fantasy, once you wish it was real, it becomes that more discouraging once reality wakes you up with a slap to the face.

Therefore, it has come to my attention that anyone can write. Anyone is free to unlock their potential. But do we have the self control to forget fantasy and embrace reality? Or all we just simply mad with desire for the unreal? I don't know about you, but I find myself slowly going insane.
