A Pursuit for Writing
By Bryan Ricardo Marini Quintana
Why do I write?
Perhaps to forget
Perhaps to remember
Why do I write?
Like Odin fears losing Huginn and Muninn
Likewise I dread forgetting Thought and Memory
Why do I write?
Maybe to forget my reality
Maybe to preserve my dream
Why do I write?
Either to preserve Myself
Or to preserve Culture
Why do I write?
Either to bloat with my ego
To not be forgotten
For my figure to be remembered
Or to shrink with my humility
To be forgotten
For my art to be remembered
Why do I write?
To allow an audience to experience my art
To allow an audience to criticize my art
Why do I write?
To find my story
To aid others find their story
Why do I write?
For my figure to be forgotten
For my art to be remembered
Why do I write?
To unchain art from my binds
Freeing creation from my confines
Allowing imagination to transcend from my grasps
Angelica Kauffman, The Artist in the Character of Design Listening to the Inspiration of Poetry, 1782
