TO BE A WRITER IS TO SEE THE THINGS YOUR MOTHER CANNOT

AND EMBODY EVERYTHING YOUR FATHER RESENTS. 

IT IS TO LOOK AT THE WORLD THROUGH A LENS THAT REVEALS BEAUTY IN HATE.

TO BE A WRITER IS TO BE EVERYTHING AND IT’S OPPOSITE.

IT IS AN EXPERIENCE OF BEING TORN BY DUALITY,

YOU MAY FEEL THAT YOU CANNOT BE PUT IN ONE BOX-

YOUR BODY IS IN THE REAL WORLD, 

BUT YOUR HEART IS WITH THE LAST FELLOW THAT BROKE IT.

IT MEANS YOU MOVE THROUGH THIS WORLD AS

A LOVER FULL OF HATE

A SADISTIC SAINT

A HELLBOUND ANGEL

A SENSIBLE TYRANT

AND A LITTLE GIRL TRAPPED IN THE BODY OF AN OLD MAN.

AS A WRITER, YOU WILL BE FULL OF CURIOSITY.

THIS IS PARTLY BECAUSE YOU SO DESPERATELY WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF.

YOU MAY NEVER FIND THE SECRET TO LIFE, 

YET YOU SEARCH FOR IT IN EVERY BOOKSTORE AND EVERY STRANGER YOU MEET.

EVEN IF YOU DID FIND THE ANSWER YOU MAY KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. 

AS A LONESOME LOVER, YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR FINDINGS.

THERE IS NO EXPLANATION- 

THERE IS ONLY THE DIRE FEELING OF KNOWING 

YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART THAT WONT BE STILL. 

BEING A WRITER IS ROMANTIC. 

TO BE SO TENDER TOWARDS THINGS OTHERS PASS WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT.

YOU SEE POETRY WHERE NO WORDS ARE WRITTEN,

BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING ARTISTIC ABOUT THE SOUND OF THE TRAIN OR 

THE SMELL OF CIGARETTES AND COFFEE.

YOU FALL IN LOVE SO OFTEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE 

TO LIVE WITHOUT HEARTBREAK- 

IT IS AIR FOR YOUR LUNGS AND FUEL FOR YOUR ART.

WRITERS ARE CRUEL AND DESPERATE AND HUNGRY FOR HEARTACHE.

LOVING AN ARTIST IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

BEING A WRITER IS SACRED.

OF COURSE I BELIEVE IN HEAVEN BECAUSE

I AM SOMEONE THAT SO ADAMANTLY BELIEVES IN LOVE. 

I BOW MY HEAD AND PICK UP MY PEN; 

TO ME THAT IS PRAYER

FOR, I AM A WRITER.
