# Why I write when no one reads

I only write occasionally, and my writing subjects (as my learnings) are all over the place. I realize that that will make it so I have only a few (or no) readers, so... Why do I keep writing then?

## I like it

To be frank, it is fun to write; I am an avid reader and have always thought it would be nice to write something someday (ideally a fantasy book), so until I do some fiction, writing about the different situations I face, be it reacting to what I see in the internet, showing how I solved a fun, explaining how a situation made me think or reflecting on how I face certain things allows me to both get some practice in writing and to have fun while I do it.

## Someone might have similar situations

Although my 'audience' is tiny, and if I am candid with myself, no one will land on one of my articles with a search. But, it might land unexpectedly in someone's lap (well screen), and they coincidentally might be facing a similar situation. In that case, it might help spark some thoughts.

## I can point to them

I write about subjects I care about, so it has happened that during a conversation (or interview), I can point to an article if someone wants to expand on my thoughts on XYZ (not sure anyone went and read it, though)

## So, what?

Nothing really, just... if you like writing, do so! It's enjoyable, structures your thoughts, and might just be helpful for that person!
