I want to be me.
Just me, with no pains and aches
Of old joints and heart.

Ditched - Index
This index is just for my subscribers. I finished and published this long story or short novella of 6,000 words recently. I tried to link all previous parts of the story in the next one, so if you went along you shouldn't have been lost. This index is just put everything in one place.

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Daahlink - Beauty fades as we age - But, your worldly knowledge goes on forever. Happy New Year longtime bud..! jk.in.l.a.
How gorgeous! Love that you want to be you.
I love that you want to be yourself, despite the pains and aches. That’s a beautiful image.
I agree!! Just me is who I want to be!!💗💕💗
The brevity works beautifully here each line feels like a small, clear truth spoken without apology.
I'm constantly reconciling myself to how I'm viewed and how I see myself. If I didn't have those aches, I'd believe I was still a young woman but with more wisdom.
Wanting to be "just me" without the aches of growing older is something we can all relate to. Such a sweet and honest little piece, Lana! 💖
Love your succinct and beautiful haiku. Very relatable and your awesome image. Well done
I agree - no aches and pains. Loved it!
I wanna be that version of me too. Loved your Haiku!
