The intensity of my desire to write suggests an emotional accuracy; my life didn’t feel like my own until I began putting thoughts on paper.
Coming from a long line of talkers, I found that conversation was overshadowed by an urgency to speak rather than to listen, distorting communication.
Writing provided me with a sense of stability that speech couldn’t offer. On the page, my voice felt immutable, contrasting my chaotic social interactions.
The sentences in my head mirrored the complexities I admired in literature, where ideas developed logically yet unexpectedly, unlike the broken exchanges of spoken language.
