Writing is another way of expressing oneself. You put your feelings out for either only yourself to read or for the world to read. Writing can help people get out their emotions in a calming manner or if they are to scared to say their emotions out loud they are able to write them down and it can still give the relief of getting something off your chest.

If you write something for only you, it could just be to write out your day to look back on and think about. Or simply to get your feelings out that you cannot say in front of others. Some therapist suggest to their patients to write out because maybe they have anxiety so they can’t say it, they need to share but they can’t say it, they’re angry so if they write it helps to get the anger out and not be violent.

To write for the world, you can share personal stories to help other. Or just stories for fun to express a world you have thought of in your own head and wish to share with the world. Many people have expressed stories to the world for centuries, some to keep record of history, some for fun tales of heroes, some for warnings, or even some explanations for what they cannot explain for.
