There’s something very calming to me about writing, especially on a day where I feel like a lot is on my mind. It reminds me what Dumbledore does in Harry Potter: when he had many difficult thoughts, he would dump his memory into a stone basin called the Pensieve. The cloud-like substance in the bowl represents his memories, which he could review as he wished to. Writing achieves a similar effect: it helps to organize one’s thoughts and examine past and current events more clearly. It’s like a memory pool.
