Writing can have many different meanings to many different people. Some people use writing as a tool of expression, some to show creativity, and others to tell a story. To me, writing is all three of those and more. I use writing as a way to express my thoughts and feelings whether it's in a journal, through a text, or just jotting down some thoughts on a piece of paper. Getting out my feelings and emotions in a non verbal way is very satisfying to me. Writing is also a form of showing creativity. Everyone is creative in their own way and to be able to put pen to paper and express those creative thoughts to tell a story, give directions, or answer a question is really interesting because people are going to have a different approach to how they show creativity in writing. I think that people most commonly associate writing with telling a story. When creativity and expression are combined to tell a story, the results are always one of a kind. No two stories will ever be the same because words can be recycled to tell different stories, show expression, and show creativity.
