Practice, Practice, Practice

What can I say? Practice is the best medicine for writers? Whether I yearn for rhythmic thumbs syndrome or if the writing bug has bitten me too many times, I have noticed that growing as a writer takes a lot of practice, so much practice that it may drive me crazy. OK, maybe this is not terribly false, because let's face it, it's me we are talking about here. Case in point I am an imperfect, flawed writer, but my compassion for this art delves deep, so deep it rumbles the ground like a subtle earthquake. The secret that I can share with other people who aspire to write their hearts out is to write continuously, always continue on your account. Meanwhile, if you do feel discouraged about your future endeavors as a writer, do not fret because someone tells you that you cannot do it. You can always do more to prove to yourself that you hold value as a writer. Now does this sort of advice help you? Well, I hope so because you have more talent than you perceive of yourself. 

Departure from this heaviness

To begin, I have some disappointing news that recently happened. I have decided to take an indefinite and undetermined break from Instagram. Lately I have noticed abnormalities in my mood and mental health that has become inevitable. It pains for me to discontinue use of Instagram at this time, all because of the activities from Instagram, and because I am not strong enough (mentally) to cope with the hardships. I am not able to handle this pressure anymore. For that, I am sorry to disappoint my Internet friends, real-life friends, and some family members by my departure. There are too many thoughts in my head -- ones that are particularly terrifying -- that make me feel really unhealthy to handle the incessant and insurmountable information on Instagram. So, with that in mind, I cannot give a definitive answer about whether I will return onto the social media platform. 

Heartbreaker -- An original poem

Needy…seeking the love you want Patronizing the hearts you stole Manipulating the souls you protected Heartbreaker Temper rises, ears inflamed all around Seeking the souls you broke  Destroying the lives you stole Heartbreaker Stealing the innocence one will lose forever Damaging the fabric of the embrace Disapproving the love you used to share Heartbreaker
