“Writers don’t write because we want to. We write because we have to. It’s like breathing; a requirement for existence. We inhale the world and exhale a stream of consciousness that we hope resonates with someone. But even if it doesn’t, we still write. It is our essence; the flame that confirms that humans don’t just exist. We thrive and suffer amid the joys and tribulations of creation, leaving small scraps of prose as an incomplete legacy. But a legacy, nonetheless.”
