I want to write.
Since I was young, I know I want t
o write. Since I learnt to put together the first lines into letters, the first letters into words, the first words into sentences, I want to write. I want to write because I have a lot to say. I learnt a lot of unknown words and I want to use then in non-sense sentences, when trying to get the most brilliant quotation… And then I want to learn with every orthographic mistake, every sentence badly built, every non-sense paragraph.

I want to write because I want to forget… All the traumas, all deceptions, all illusions – all sadness and
bitterness. Every villain and their enchantments, every failure and regret.
Forget them all by turning them memorable, reasons to be proud of, inspirations to keep me moving on and get my overturn.
I want to forget all the limits too.
I want to put on paper all other
universes that exist inside my head. I want to know all the characters that
inhabit my heart. I wanna write because I want a world where I can fly and breathe under the water; where I can read minds – where I can create minds. An
universe where all the lies in my head are truths and they all make sense.
I want thunder lightning coming out from
my hands; wanna know how to hunt, wanna live happily ever after… I want to
perform all my dreams and introduce my friends to my imaginary boyfriends. I
want to go back in time, save lifes and maybe even be a queen.
I want to write because it’s good to have
control of past, present the future, and to know that it’s even better to let
the plot go by itself. I want to write – yes, I want to discover planets,
travel continents, discover the recipe for immortality.
I want to experience death, to be born
again and learn how to make a grand écart. I wanna create lifes and wait for
their deaths ... And above all, I want to destroy worlds - worlds that limit
me, that reprehend me, that censure me. I do not need them. Because every time
I write, my world begins again.
