How grand my joy

To hear of your comfort and warmth

After hellish years

Leaves regrown from buried snow

To think as children we'd grow, apart

Fledged now in separation

How grand my joy

To hear of you through pleasantries

Two different stories that shared a same chapter

“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.”

— Ray Bradbury (b. 22 August 1920)

Be proud of the dumb, little thing you wrote, just because you wanted to write a dumb, little thing. Your writing doesn't need to be serious and award-winning for you to be proud of it.

"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.

okay but why did this hurt me so much. like if i write it has to be perfect or else whats the point? if i don't make it my life am i no longer worthy to do it? i've always thought like that and so i've written lines and excerpts and blocked myself from going any further. i'm going insane with all the ideas in my head that i can't pit into words because i feel i'm not worthy of. but it is me. writing is my love and it has been taken from me by me.

“And why don’t you write? Write! Writing is for you, you are for you; your body is yours, take it. I know why you haven’t written. (And why I didn’t write before the age of twenty-seven.) Because writing is at once too high, too great for you, it’s reserved for the great — that is for “great men”; and it’s “silly.” Besides, you’ve written a little, but in secret. And it wasn’t good, because it was in secret, and because you punished yourself for writing, because you didn’t go all the way, or because you wrote, irresistibly, as when we would masturbate in secret, not to go further, but to attenuate the tension a bit, just enough to take the edge off. And then as soon as we come, we go and make ourselves feel guilty — so as to be forgiven; or to forget, to bury it until the next time.”

— Hélène Cixous, “The Laugh of the Medusa”

Bea

I'm held by the memories

I know you've moved on

I was immature and now I know better

What good has it done me
