I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

From Person Who Writes, to Writer
Ever since I was a child my Nana always encouraged me to keep a journal. Every year for Christmas, she would gift me a new notebook and pen. The first year this tradition started, I got a little spiral book with a duck swimming through the water on the cover. I was in the 7th grade, and I remember writing about the intricacies and emotions of middle school. They were silly little musings with no real purpose, and there were months between the entries. Not much has changed about my writing style. I'm on top of it hard, and I fall off hard. There's no in between.

I can totally relate to this. It's like there are some days when I just wanna be left alone without any human interaction. It's so draining. Know that you are not alone. Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
Not being in tune with poetry I didn't understand what acrostic meant until I reread your story and realized what the first letters of each line spelled. Hope the sea smoothes out for you soon.
