For ourselves, other readers, teachers peers you name it. Not only do I think so but an author by the name of Joan Didion who has a reading called "Why I Write" and she explains her argument for why she writes and believes why other people write. She has an interesting that she says "In many ways of writing is the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind. The audience you have for your writing is either interested in your story and want to know more or they maybe reading because they have to. Either way they're reading your important writing.
Me personally I write a lot especially for therapy I really sometimes struggle with getting out what I have to say or what I'm feeling so I just write it down and all of my thoughts come out just how I want them to. The thing I struggle with the most is anger. I can get mad at the slightest things but my anger goes a long way and I sometimes cant control it but, when I went to therapy she showed me how to overcome that and one of the things she showed me was to write. I write what made me mad or who and why. She also told me that when I do this about the person I should give them the letter to read so they can see how I am feeling and things can go from there. That was something I really took advantage of. I find this very easy like it just comes to me naturally when I am writing for a personal purpose. Now, I do have a loved one who is currently incarcerated and I do keep in touch with him as I am not able to talk to him every single day like I usually did I feel as though it keeps us connected and he can be up to date on the things I am doing while he is away. When writing for school purposes it is so hard and I will spend hours, days thinking about what i will write, how I will write it it's just a lot of detailing that I never have the patience to plan out. Writing when i'm writing for myself is just the best for me because I feel like it won't judge you and it will listen as we all know it's pen and paper it's won't have anything to say but, you can get all your thoughts and feelings out without any negative feedback.
