Writing is the best form of art!

Date: 22nd December 2021

Hello everyone! How are you doing today? I hope you are having a fantastic week and staying hydrated. Three days remain until we reach Christmas and Nine till we enter 2022; The countdown is here.

Oikawa is here again with another article, and I am so excited because only four days remain until Christmas.

The weather over here seems to have taken a turn for the worse with the "Harmattan season," before the weather was hot, now it is dry; 

I hate how our weather acts sometimes; I wish we could have snow like other countries, but only a Christmas miracle can make that happen; maybe I would add that to next year's Christmas wish.

Anyway, enough of that talk, let us get back to what this article is about: "Writing is the best form of art?"

If I were to ask you why you chose to write, what would your answer be? I am sure all of us have a reason we are writing, and I would love to hear all of your reasons; you can leave them in the comment box if you want.

I want to write my reasons for today, and I hope you enjoy the article.

When I was still a child, I had speech problems, and this led to me not talking till I was Three years old; in those times, if you were Three and you couldn't talk, they either thought you were mute or an idiot, and unfortunately, they went for the latter.

The teachers would always mock me for not talking; instead, I would make sounds because I thought they could understand what I was saying, but they couldn't.

Some time passed, and I was finally able to hold a pencil, and this was where my world genuinely changed because I could finally communicate with other people by writing what I wanted, and they could understand.

I remember writing a letter to my mom for her birthday, and she was so happy; I would never forget her smile.

Writing is a way of communication, but it is also a great way to express the feelings you can't say in words, and anytime I can't say something, I always write it down because I know all my feelings would be in what I am writing.

Words may not always show you the whole story, but they show you the feelings the other person wants to pass onto you; if you have read books, you would understand what I am saying.

There is a reason they say, "Books hold the greatest knowledge," and that is because so many people have put their life experience in their books, and they pass on this knowledge unto anyone that reads their books.

Writing is the purest form of communication because you can genuinely write from the heart, and you won't be scared because it isn't face-to-face; instead, you can freely write what you want, hoping the other person will understand.

I can remember watching a WWI&II documentary, and during that time, soldiers wrote letters to their parents before going to the battlefield. 

When reading those letters, the parents would sometimes cry because this may be their child's last words.

One of the soldiers wrote, 

"Dad, Mom... 

Thank you for loving/raising me all these years I have been with you; this might be my final letter to you; if you two are reincarnated and marry in the next life too, please have me as your son again; things weren't supposed to end this way.

I would find happiness in life and show you that I had, so please pray a lot to be your son again. Thank you for all you did for me; I love you so much."

I am guessing he died after writing this letter because he never returned, but I am sure his writing reached his family, and they would love to have him as their son again.

Writing has been a fantastic tool for humanity, and ever since the beginning, we have been using it to pass down information to the next generation.

You would never regret reading a good book because the author would show you the right paths to take and the mistakes they made in their lives that you shouldn't also make.

I am sure we all have a genre of book that we like reading; it may be Fiction, Novel, Mystery, Horror, and they all communicate something to us, and that is why we love reading them.

I genuinely love writing, and that is why I would always love this platform because it has allowed me to write while earning, and I can share my ideas on it. 

I don't know your reasons for writing on this platform, but I am sure that anyone who writes on this platform also likes writing because it isn't easy to put out content daily, but you all still do it, which is impressive.

I would end it here, but don't forget to put your answer to "Why you love writing," in the comments.
