Express Yourself

For quite a few years I have turned to writing (both in creative writing and journal keeping) to express myself, my feelings, my struggles, my random thoughts, and whatever comes out.  Most people, even myself, would first think I would turn to music to express myself, which I do, but sometimes it's better for me to not express myself through music, which probably doesn't make sense to anyone but me...
When a friend of mine told me about a writing website that some of our other friends had started, I realized that I would finally have a place to put all of my works. Even if I would be the only person to really visit the site, knowing that it was still out in the open for others to access gave me a sense of voice, like I didn't have to hold in all of my emotions, but that I could release my inner self one piece at a time.  Although I don't view myself as a great author, I still find joy and comfort in getting all of my sick (not "cool," but actually disturbed and disease-stricken) thoughts out on a page, and eventually on the web for others to stumble upon occasionally.
If you're really in the bored and stalking mood, you're free to peruse the website that I eventually became part-owner of, here.  (The link leads directly to my main portion of the website, but you're welcome to browse the rest of the creative site, I assure everything on there is fabulous.)

Share your thoughts!
How do you express yourself?
How has expressing yourself in your own way helped you or others understand you?

Have a smiley day!!
