Why do authors write about life struggles?
Looking back on life gives me a sense of identity. Through each struggle I push for what I need to learn. We each need to learn from the past, that is how we grow. Thinking of the short stories and poems each ending left me with a question. It was suspensful and left me awaiting for the next step the characters would take in life. Not only do we learn from our own struggles but from others' as well. Reading about some of these struggles gets my mind going on a solution which I can't help think it is helping me solve some of my own stuggles. Whether they are the same struggles or totally different the brain is working to solve to the best of its ability. One of my favorite things to do with a very good friend of mine is to talk about the struggles I go through. Talking to her gives me solutions that help tremedously through self thought or her advice. Maybe there are people out there like myself that like to talk about their trials to help them overcome them or maybe they like to keep them inside and figure it out on their own. I don't know but it sure does help me not only receive a solution but the stress of that struggle lessens a little and I feel a sense of peace for that brief moment.
So, do you think authors are doing a similar thing: talking about their struggles to an audience to find (and perhaps propose thought their writing) a solution?
