To me, there are a few things that are important. Being surrounded by people who truly matter is one. You can be around hundreds of people but if none of them mean anything to you then what is the point? Friendship is key to being happy, that and having a place to think. Being able to escape from the day to day struggles is something I believe every person should do and for me, that is where I often write. Generally I write whatever comes to mind, whether it is notes, poems or even a story. When it comes to my writing, I prefer to be prepared before I put pen to paper. By having something in front of me or even an idea is usually one of the only ways I can begin. But once I am able to start, things become infinitely easier. It is like someone has given me a start, guided me down a path of possibilities. When I write, I am a wheel. While standing still there is no motion, no life, nothing to work with. But when given a push, I am able to move. Once I start to accelerate, there is truly no stopping!
