Why write

Nawal Sadawi says that she writes because she enjoys writing, no matter what the price is, she writes because nothing is as joyful to her than writing, not even life itself.
I wish to be like her. I
aim to be like her.
Not vain, not a martyr.
Not write out of urgency or necessity.
Not write out of isolation and marginalization.
Write out of pure joy.
Joy that is bigger than love and life.
Joy bigger than fear of death or judgement of people or my own judgement.
Write because it's one of my natural states of being.
Create constantly intensively, without fear or judgement or drama.
Create because it's my essence to create and that is the way to ultimate joy.
Create because that's what makes life meaningful.
No inhibitions.
No holding back.

Nawal!
Grant me your courage.
Grant me your independence and confidence.
You're a light that has always and will always shine in my life.
