About This Quote

We all like to experience our emotions and thoughts as we go through our day to day activities. While we're doing what we're doing, we want to feel good and we want to enjoy our actions as well as the thoughts that go with it. Life is full of emotions, but writing helps you to feel those emotions as you write about them. When you write, it gives your thought power - not only by putting them down on paper but also by making them real. Writing your thoughts down makes it so that you can feel what you are feeling, even if they are really bad things. This means that you can have the power to change the way your life feels, even if it is just a little bit. And, by doing this, you are able to take action in order to change the way your life feels.
