Why am I compelled to write? Because the writing saves me from this complacency I fear. Because I have no choice. Because I must keep the spirit of my revolt and myself alive. Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. سے طرف کی writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and hunger. I write to record what others erase when I speak, to rewrite the stories others have miswritten about me, about you. To become مزید intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself; to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet یا a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit. To دکھائیں that I can and that I will write, never mind their admonitions to the contrary. And I will write about the unmentionables, never mind the outraged gasp of the censor and the audience. Finally I write because I'm scared of writing but I'm مزید scared of not writing. Why should I try to justify why I write? Do I need to justify being Chicana, being woman? آپ might as well ask me to try to justify why I’m alive. The act of writing is the act of making soul, alchemy.
-Gloria Anzaldúa

Writing is its own reward.
