Writing as a Personal Journey

Writers primarily engage in the act of writing as a means to understand themselves and navigate their personal experiences. This introspective process often feels private, resembling a journey that turns into shared works when presented to the public. Renowned figures like Seneca exemplified this, as he used his writings, such as 'Letter to Marcia' and 'On the Shortness of Life,' to grapple with existential themes like death, grief, and the brevity of life.
