Writing has always been the most intimate form of communication I use. Since age 10, I've kept diaries, amassing a collection of about 19 diaries to date. Currently, I write for The PublicAsian at UMCP.
Words, when controlled to express one's precise meaning and tone, can be the sharpest tool. But some things in this world cannot be captured in a story, song lyrics, or even a poem. Rather than bringing them to examination and stenciling them into words, those sentiments are better kept in the world of silence.
