Love this and yes writing helps us to see things and ourselves. For me I think it’s the going inward, working things out and also connecting with others. I get twitchy when I haven’t written for a while…! xx
Have you noticed when you say you're a writer some people make this face like "ooh, check you out, how fancy" like you're showing off or bigging yourself up somehow? And a lot of writers also get awkward when admitting to being one, always adding some unnecessary explanation like "I mean, I'm not a published author so it's just a passion really." This doesn't happen to non-writers. When a plumber says "I'm a plumber", everyone simply says, "cool, you're a plumber"
You’re so right!! I admit I sometimes follow it up with, oh but I mainly work brand-side these days.. as if to stipulate that no, I don’t in fact have any published books on the bestseller list 😂 maybe next time I’ll say I’m a plumber!

Ooooh yes this is why I write… it’s integration and exploration and I just can’t NOT! X
