Write for Yourself.

 Write for Yourself Too, Not Just for Others.

As a writer, one thing I have come to realize is that, there are times when all you need are your own words. Yes, your own words.

Lately, I have found myself going back to pieces that I wrote several times ago. I have drawn strength from them and they have motivated to keep going.

The healing, clarity, and peace I often seek from the outside are right here with me—in my own words.

You don't know how much your future self is going to be needing what you are writing right now. You can never tell if these words are what will keep the future you going, against all odds.

So, the next time you write, don’t think it’s just for the world or your readers alone.

Those words will one day be the lifejacket that keeps you afloat in the middle of life’s storm.

So, my dear, write—not just for the world, but for yourself too.

Have you ever written something that later became your own source of comfort? Let me know in the comments.
