When I feel like writing, I need to write.
When I feel pain and hurt, I need to cry.
When I feel happy and carefree, I want to laugh.

When I feel tired, I need to relax.
When I feel like running, I need to run.
When I feel like soaring, I need to fly in open air, free and happy for a while.

When I feel love, I love back.
When I want space, I shut out the world and it's worries.
When I feel lonely, I read a book.
When I am angry, I write it out of me, yell it out of me, cry it out of me.
