People forget the impact of a written word. Of how whenever you see a slightly inspirational quote with a dramatic background you feel encouraged to take on the day.

But writing down the moments that deserve your attention can change your thought process on a bad day. My reasons to write pertain to what I wish I could say or things I wish would happen.

You make claims that you can’t take back because they’re printed on a page. When I write it is to get emotions off my chest and I say whatever I want because only my mind will remember those

Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…

But, there 's also a downside to writing a letter to someone compared to speaking to them, because, when you speak to someone, you show emotion through facial expressions and gestures; a paper cannot show emotion very well, which is why text messages can be easily…
