Logic of Writing
Genevieve Harding '18
I finally realized why I write so much, and particularly why I write about you so much. I guess I have always been one to want to have the last word; someone who always ends an argument with calling the other person a jerk (something I do far to often). I guess, for me, I realized that maybe I write, because I think it might change history. That if I fill a whole notebook with the words "I'm sorry" you might forgive me, or that if I write down everything I wanted to tell my best friend when she was crying in the hallway during 4th period, 7 months ago, it might make up for not saying it then. I think that if I write about my future it might come true, and that if I write on my wrist "Believe" I will remember that God is the one who truly has the pen, and I can't do anything about it, except pray that my words will become a reality. But then I ask myself, do I really want my words to become my reality? Do I really want history to rewrite itself because if it does, will I have something to write about tomorrow?
