Ashes
A poem about running away for the "Instructions for Disappearing" Challenge
I want to disappear,
Fall to pieces,
Forget everyone who ever had claimed to loved me.
I want to run away,
Far.
Fast.
Set fire to who I once was,
Watch the pieces of my life burn down with regret.
Start fresh somewhere new,
Create a life I'm proud of from the ashes that remain from the flames,
Pack a bag,
Hell.
Pack the trunk of my broken-down SUV.
Pick a few moments of a life that I'm not proud of to keep.
A book of memories.
A fragment from a life that I truly haven't lived.
I just want to run away.
Keep myself alive for another day.
Self-preservation so to speak.
Burn this life to the ground.
My new one awaits.
Till the sirens behind me catch up.

10 Lessons from Sarah J. Maas
"You learn to write by reading the writers you love." I recently took this course by Damien Walter! I wanted to share with you all what I took away from the course, and to share my thoughts on writing fantasy. He did an analysis on the opening chapter of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and I have a new set of lenses while I am reading. I was inspired by previous Udemy post to create this one on this specific course.

To My Dearest Girl
To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.

So beautiful! I felt this one! “Set fire to who I once was.” Although I have made a home where I currently stay, burning myself down and transforming into the next phoenix has been something I’ve begun to fall in love with.
