freedom in personal truth
"i was proud of her. she was a distance hunter. she stalked happiness for decades with relentless focus. a single desire to do better, to be better. and she pounced with raging ferocity at every opening, the metallic taste of purpose between her teeth."
2/2 I think the simple fact is that I write because it's me. Like my fingers or my lungs, it's not even an extension of me, but rather an essential bit in the human-shaped cloud of bits that is me. I write because I think. I write because words give pigments to my feelings. I write because I can't not write, any more than I can't not feel or breathe. I write because I am.
Prompt #3: Why do you write?
I could answer this pretty directly, but it would most likely be a cop-out or a half-answer that only gives a sliver of the full truth. I could answer with ten pages of angst-filled ramblings about my soul and it still might not answer the question. 1/2

well damn.
*gets back to grind*
"...we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries, realists of a larger reality." - UKLeGuin
"If you're afraid to write it, that's a good sign.
I suppose you know you're writing the truth when you're terrified." --Yrsa Daley-Ward
and this is why my public facing writing feels so stunted. fear of being honest, fear of being judged, fear of being misunderstood. i've slain many proverbial dragons in my life, but this one...gah, it's a beast.
It's not that I want to be off the grid. I just want to build my own.
Happy 2018 🎉 It's gonna be a good one, i knows it 😘👍
as much as I try to appreciate 'free time' and unplanned relaxation, I can't help but get ansty. which leads to anxiety. which leads to questions about life choices. which leads to frantic searching for meaning in life. all culminating in an overall malaise and lack of a sense of purpose.
yeah, I gotta learn how to appreciate *not* being busy heheh 🙄😏

"It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you."
