(Almost) Everything I've Written.
I've been writing since I cleared out of school and was able to see that it was really useful. The thoughts in my head were unruly and unordered and I was never able to make them clear. I started writing them down just to figure out what I was trying to say.. only to find out that what I was trying to say wasn't very clear.
Writing is clarified thinking. If you're not able to write down what you think, it's probably not as clear as you'd like to believe. Writing helps you ask the right questions. And it helps capture your life and legacy. I've written about this before. (I'm sure you're surprised.)
