Why Write?

Ever felt like you have no opinions to offer, just because other voices are louder than yours?

I've always wondered how other people can seem to have such an endless dialogue during a conversation, when I cannot even form a single sentence. And there's those pauses when they look at you to hear what you have to say, but all you can think of is "Um... yeah, totally!" and then you give yourself a mental facepalm as they shrug and continue on speaking. You laugh along with them and say something, but they don't hear you, and they shuffle to another topic. I've been there so many times. 

So I question myself if I really do have an opinion or not. Too often I have been just receiving and agreeing without really thinking about it. I've always been the quiet listener who just nods and smiles, looks back and forth as they toss the words around like a ball, and then smiles some more. And I thought, this has to stop. Or at least, lessen. I need to form my own opinions, and voice out my thoughts. Maybe I cannot insert my words wittingly into conversations yet (I've tried, and sometimes they don't get what I meant, lol) but I do, I do have my own mind. 

And... I can write. A little. In my own weird way.

This is all relatively new to me, so kindly bear with me through all this. A comment or so would also help ;)

So to anyone in the whole wide world on the world wide web who's willing to listen, or rather, read, my random bouts of ramblings, here I am.  And this is my way of saying "Hello world!" as my first post. I hope I can exercise my brain enough to make a lot more.
