When I was growing up I used to be very quiet and shy.Other kids can easily lie against me in my face ,even though I knew that they lied, I will still remain quiet.That gave me the nickname “deaf and dumb”.I was neither deaf nor dumb.My problem is just to open my mouth 👄 and say something .I rather cry than communicate.When forced to communicate I will start crying for no reason.Then God had sympathy on me and gave me a gift of writing.
Writing became a serious obsession for me.I can wake up in the middle of the night to write something down.Writing and reading became the best friend that I don’t have. Uptil today writing is my top most priority. I can give up anything for writing .Writing allows me to express my thoughts and feelings giving the readers glimpse of my inner mind and be able to perceive what I am thinking and how I feel. What I couldn’t say, I can easily communicate through writing it down for others to read.
Some advantages of writing are as follows:
A. Authentic documents that cannot be manipulated.
B. It can be understood by anyone paying attention.
C.It reduces risk of falsification.
D.It depicts the image of the writer.
E.It can be easily accessed.
F. It is an acceptable method of communication.
G.It is a permanent record that cannot be altered.
Most often a quiet person or a person without a well known name can be ignored and relegated to the background or fall through the cracks. The ability to coordinate your thoughts and put it in writing is a blessing in disguise. As for me,the best thing that happened to me is my ability to express myself through writing. It gives me satisfaction and a huge relief to my problems. I enjoy writing and wish that I can continue to do better and make a living out of writing.
But sometimes writing can be very frustrating and hurtful because these are permanent records sitting somewhere and can come out one day to be a disservice for you. I recalled a nephew that inflicted severe pain on me several times. One day I decided to put down my response in writing electronically by reminding him of everything that I did for him.( I am too embarrassed to talk about it or to list them)It was not my intention to remind him of all my good deeds because the rewards of good deeds come from God. However he went and published it for everyone to see and read.I felt very bad because I never suspected that he will publish it.I reacted so that he can get off my back and stop lying to so many people. He stopped lying and spreading fake news but I regretted reminding him of my kind gesture towards him.Now our relationship is no longer solid.I shouldn’t have send him messages.I should have stay still ,shut up and live with his lies and deceptions .
In conclusion I would say that I enjoy and love the gift of expressing myself through writing. However I will be careful not to write 📝 in black and white ,sent it out electronically something that I might regret later.
Some disadvantages of writing that you’ve to be careful of include but are not limited to the followings:
- It is time consuming very slow in responding.
- Lack of personal touch which is very important in relationships.
- Lack of confidentiality because anyone can read and interpret it. 4.Grandmother or grandfather might not be able to read it due to illiteracy or vision impairment. 5. It can lead to permanent separation.

When there’s something important to be said, but it must be said delicately, just speaking it runs the risk of blurting out things that can be hurtful. By taking the time to write, you can choose words carefully, proofread, run the letter by a third party for feedback, edit, and pray over it until you know it says exactly what you mean in a way that is clear and kind.
