Dear writing...

Dear writing,
I am moved to talk to you this morning. Words made by the combinations of alphabets come together to make a sentence. Then Someone can now express a feeling with a sentence, then people began to drop many sentences. It then became a trend to follow this trend. So somehow writing came to trend. They say egypt had some initial thoughts on how to launch this most consistent way of communication. Words were given meaning to what thoughts had thought. Writing had become a good way to transfer information everyone must have thought. Writing, you then became a way to let people know about something. The ability to write meant one had learned to read probably too. Writing, you became something every growing enlightened normal human would be thought to practice. I was part of the normal humans thought how to do this art of writing, I had also learned it too early too. I am happy I was exposed so early by my family to writing, my education was so sound from the On set. The first 4 years of my life, I had no formal education. Elementary one when I was 5, was the first form of academia education I ever had. Writing was a subject in those days. I think I did do pretty well then. Gradually, through a lot of english language, compositions and comprehensions. I read a lot and started writing a lot too.
Mr writing, I love your art. I started puTting words of my own together, regardless of the normal routine of my class to just copy what was on the board and what the teacher asked of us. I wrote a typical step mother Nigerian story in elementary 2, I left that job unpublished. Before elementary school was over, I loved to put words to state what I meant. I helped some older boys in the hood I grew, write love letters to girls they had crushes on, the paid consistently for my services because I put the words they meant to export their intentions, in a way they felt their receivers treasured. I was soon known as a good writer by the time I was in high school, as my days in federal government college okigwe saw me feature in the press club and gospel press club too. Mr ibrahim during my second year in high school was the head of literature at the time, he was invigilating my english examination which had a "write to your uncle question" he kept reading my work for some minutes,before declaring he was sure I was going to have one of the best scores, as my writing was really matured for my age. He was right, I had one of the highest scores for the english exam in my class that term. I still wrote things for more people afterwards in high school too. (love letters, apology letters, statement of witness, application letters and all that*) peeps around me in high school gave me that job with utmost trust and I loved it.
I started putting my words in more pages when I got to the university, I had to write to expose my thoughts to the world. writing for organizations, writing for websites and bill boards has been all I keep doing to make sure I am still writing. here I am this morning, thinking I should put my thoughts to words and write to Mr writing, telling him his art has made me a very happy man on earth. expressing the best things I treasure in life has to do with writings. The exposure the art of writing has given to me as a writer is not something I got to tell. I am more than grateful for my ability to write and expreSs. For without writing I would have all my thoughts bundled up in my heart. they write and inform me, I write and inform them. We all need this information, for he who is not informed is going to be deformed. Thank you to writing for making me informed. I love writing* you are my first love. You are my full time job, you are my hobby. You are my inspiration, my joy and laughter, the tool to ease off the pain. I am indeed ever grateful to you Mr writing. Till we talk again. Bye.
