Well, to be very blunt, I don't like myself. Writing is one of my ways to get out of this person that I'm so incredibly sick of, and become someone else. Usually, I become someone that I like less. It makes me feel better. (So, in other words, the person that you imagine writing is usually nothing like me.)
Then, there are the rare occasions when I'm deliriously happy. I usually write something especially for these occasions. Despite my inspiration, this work is usually terrible.
I write to answer my own questions, and usually come up with nothing.
I write to prove to myself that I'm capable of more than existing
to prove that I can think and feel.
Sometimes I don't believe it.
I write because sometimes I get bored, and there's nothing better to do.
I write in order to understand people and things that I don't like to think about.
A thing that makes my writing unique: my ability to separate myself from any situation and view it from an outsider's position. When I apply that to my writing, the image is seen from multiple angles and perspectives.
All in all, I write because there's so much that I don't understand about this world, and I want to be able to make some sort of sense out of it that somehow makes everything...okay.
