It isn't necessary to strive for publication in order to write. As much as it pains me to say this, it isn't even necessary to spell correctly, have impeccable grammar, or to punctuate correctly. You don't even need a broad vocabulary. It is perfectly okay to just write.
Writing is important, not only in order to convey your thoughts to others, but for yourself. Some people know this. I think most of us were told this in school, but sometimes, we discount things we were told by teachers. Well, about this, they were correct! Writing has many uses.
Most people, upon hearing this, think of journals. That is it, exactly! Journaling is a great way to get things down on paper and seen by you. This can help you to sort out the thoughts in your head by making them more concrete and easier to sift through.
It can help you to solve a problem that may be vexing you. Sometimes, as you're writing, things become clearer, or they may not seem as bad as you were making them. Sometimes writing helps to open the floodgates of tears or anger and gives you the opportunity to express your feelings.
Don't worry about anyone else reading them. As a matter of fact, feel free to tear them up or even burn them afterward. Just write!
