like music to the soul.

For as long as I can remember, writing has been my creative outlet. While others have the ability to express themselves through music or art, writing is and has always been my form of self-expression. It keeps me sane. Growing up, I was a big advocate of keeping a diary/journal. I would observe, reflect and vent in them; it's amusing and occasionally humiliating to look back and see what I've written over the years. I've also had accounts for Xanga and MySpace, where I blogged about my life in middle and high school. And now I've moved on to.... Blogspot.

Over the course of my short life, I've been exposed to many different forms of writing. Journaling and blogging. Essays and personal statements. Memoirs. Poetry. Journalism. I don't consider myself expert at any particular one of these styles: I just write.
