The first thing that I could say about me is: I think WAY too much! I am constantly daydreaming and thinking! If I could write down every thought that I have, I would die happy! But unfortunately that is not possible!
The reason why I write is because it is another way of dreaming-mixing dreaming with reality. And for once everything can go your way!
Writing for me is a way of creating worlds which I can live in and get lost in!
Without imagination the world would seem as gray and cruel as it is, but dreaming is the source that keeps us from fading into life's dull existence. We can dream, and dreaming leads to hope.
Writing is just a way of living in your dreams and making it possible for others to reach over into the worlds which you create!
If you feel lonely, you can create characters who are falling in love, and you would be falling in love right along with them . And if you are feeling angry and depressed, you can create a world where everyone is doomed, and you would sit back and smile, because for once things are going the way you see it!
Life is a reality, and it is most definitely NOT FAIR, but writing gives me a way to escape, and to enforce my own ideas, thoughts and ways into a world that is completely out there!
Writing has no rules, no obligations and no hidden truths! It is free from the law, which binds us in so many ways, free from the rules of man, which places us into categories we did not create, and mist of all it is free from caution, which keeps us from living the precious gift of life to the fullest of our capabilities!
Writing gives way to another world! One which I would be thrilled to live in every single second of every day! Most of all writing gives an escape from reality-that is why I write!

My best moment ...

Honestly-its sadness! All the sadness in the world is what makes me want to write and turn it into something else!
Their faces flash and wake my sleep Their brutal deeds not theirs to keep My heart beats faster as night comes near My mind screams for silence; they will hear I laugh and see the good that lingers Red sand slipping through our fingers The wrath plays out in throttling skies The eagle circles; awaiting our cries The call of death a welcome thought The quest for peace; all we sought My dreams aren't mine, not mine to keep My cries aren't yours, not yours;s to weep I wake up dazed and fail to grasp My nightmares have been meant to last We all have lived and failed to see The warnings wr...
