Role of a Writer

"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say." -- Anaïs Nin

based on the quote above, there are so many things i want to say, but unable to say, neither the "writer" in me is unable to most of the time.

someone once said "don't let the pain you're going through define you" i kind of beg to differ, yes it shouldn't define you, but the feeling and experience through it all makes you who you are, depending on how you understand and accept it into your life and continue to grow, so in essence it does become part of the entire definition of who you are. the pain that you are going through is yours and yours alone.  whether in love, life, happiness, joy, pain and misery, inside it's all yours internally and eternally, find a way to embrace it, live with it to make you the better person than who you are each day, then no one can ever take that away from you.
