I enjoy writing for many reasons. The main one however is because, when I write I get to create characters who I am not. Might sound confusing, but everyone has an inner self that no one knows about - sometimes not even the person knows about them - this inner self is like the second half of me, or you. The majority of main characters I create are the same, and I believe this is because this character or person, is the me that stays hidden away from everyone.
I also love to write because, when I create a new world, or new story line, I feel like I am living in that world everyday. My already existing world turns into the one I create. When I work on a story, reality pauses and everything becomes a part of the new world. My friends, my "habitat" for lack of better words, my everyday life changes because now I'm living in this story line. My mom says I am so disconnected and so quiet sometimes, and that's simply because I'm too involved with my story's. Sometimes I even gain the personalities of the characters I create. If she is sad and quiet, I become sad and quiet even though nothing happened. I know it sounds stupid, but I have been doing this my whole life and can't really explain why.
My story's aren't the best, and every time I start one I get bored with it and give up, but if you were wondering, here is the link to my Wattpad:
