why I write

Most of the time, I write only when I feel an ABSOLUTE need to
i) communicate a thought/emotion
ii) leave a record of fleeting thoughts/emotions

I've come to think that (even after all those years of training in public speaking and debate)
I write because
most of the time, I listen, instead of speak
so I WRITE the things I lacked the time/chance/기민함/energy to SAY.

So most of my writing is meant to be READ, maybe.
Maybe that's what's going on inside my head.
