"The Pen is Mightier than the Sword" Journal 2

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword
　
　
In this journal, the questions were asked "What issues or topics are you interested in exploring in your writing? What changes do you feel are worth making?"
And to respond, in full honesty; I'm not quite sure.
　
I haven't exactly picked my brain about the sort of topics that I think need adressing, or certain changes that need to be made. I simply write, and use my gift of writing to express emotions and communicate what I am feeling or thinking. Many of the characters I create do face problems- real world problems, such as alchoholism or perhaps permiscutity [that being a problem, is completely debatable] but it is only because I am familiar with these situations. Perhaps my characters problems, could make someone sit back and think about a drinking problem, or if they should really be hanging out with a certain girl- but it is not a consious objective of mine, to make someone think. So if they do think- after reading something I have written, and it helps them change, even on a emotionally molecular level, than they are by far welcome, even though it is indirect, I will take full credit in helping them.
　
I know I could sit here and write for hours about how topics need to be addressed, such as racism, or world rights, or the womans movement or even drinking and driving- About how all those above topics affect everyone around me, and I could write about how much I care- and how much I think that all those topics should be addressed through writing- or just simply addressed. But I hate to lie.I don't care all that much about many topics, and I'm not trying to be selfish or rude, or unjustifiably mean; but I am trying to be honest.At this point in my life, the most important things in my life have nothing to do with other's who have no influenced me directly. And I really choose to not write about real world issues that need to be touched upon, like the declaration of human rights does. I just write for me and perhaps for keeping my sanity, and emotional state at a bareable level- maybe that last reason, is me writing to help other people, but besides that; the pen is mighty- but through the eyes of this individual, living his last year in highschool- so is the sword.
