Texting has been a social norm for many years, ever since the invention of the smartphone. Before that, people relied on writing as a source of communication as well as entertainment. People write to be able to escape the cruelties the world faces sometimes. It allows them to live inside a book; even if it’s just for a few hours, it will transport you to a world of imagination. At one time, people relied primarily on books as a source of entertainment and escapism from the real world. People wrote to share their experiences with one another. It can still give them encouragement to keep going and to chase after what they want to achieve in life. An anonymous student said, “Writing gives me a sense of escape and stress relief. I don’t know where I’d be without my writing.”
Every person who writes writes with a purpose; whether it is to inform, persuade, or entertain, there are so many forms of writing that people have developed. Many enjoy writing in order to make their voices heard. It can be a form of expression for people who don’t otherwise have one. Writing is a tool to be used when you want to have an impact and make someone aware of a certain topic. Even today, in the era of texting, people should be encouraged to write more, if only so that they can experience a bit of escapism and stress relief over certain situations that they may have.
