T.S Eliot once said 'You write because you feel the need to free yourself of something' and he totally gets me!
It isn't necessary that any learned person can be a writer. The way how you translate your feelings into words that flow from your heart via your fingers, with all that you feel as your ink, is almost a spiritual activity that you participate in. It takes a lot of courage and brevity to reveal your inner most thoughts and stand naked in front of the world. Thoughts of love, pain or divinity are abstract and don't usually fit into the concrete structure of the world.
Words can be superficial, yet they can be everything you need at some point in your life. This is a matter which is always up for debate but what we really get out of anything scripted is a connection. A connection that helps us reconnect, helps us face the truth, breaks us or maybe one day heal all the wounds that words of others inflicted upon us. As I stare at a blank space, I wonder that it's only when what we think and feel gets inscribed on a sheet of paper, without any dilution, without any trimmings is when we really write. When the emotions of contentment, intimacy or intense pain that only the one who feel gets is written, it may just strike a match but imagine the intensity of that emotion felt by that person for them to be capable of effectively putting it into words and then just putting it out there.
This world is fake but then you find people who are real, that's the kind of connection you want to hold on to. At that point words don't matter. That depth is what we all seek, what we all need. Funny how in a materialistic world all we need and look for are intangible things that matter. It's like they are two sides of the same coin. On one side words cage you and when you turn sides that's when they free you and that liberation my dear friends is more precious than anything money can buy. It isn't everyday that you are gifted with the depth of words and have that translated into actions that will eventually lead you to establish faith in all the things that have failed you in life. Is that the beginning of happiness? Maybe not or maybe just maybe yes.
