I look over a lot of my poetry and realize that so so much of it is talking about depression and despair or making the best of the bad deal. sometimes i beat myself up for having too much poetry on one subject, but then I remember how poetry is such a free art and can let you do whatever you want!!!!!!

this is a really interesting explanation of what makes existentialism existentialism that I found in the New Yorker: "Kierkegaard appears as the first existentialist, thanks to his insistence that life’s most important questions—How should I act? What must I believe?—can’t be resolved by abstract reasoning."

Another Camus qoute: "absurdity is born in the clash between the human longing for reason and the unreasonable silence of the world."

I just realized how strange musicians must sound to people who don't play an instrument. I was at drumline practice, and some kid stopped everyone from playing, walks over to another kid, and just goes "You need to stop playing ba da da du da da. and start playing digida digida digadop ou bop." Idk if that's all musicy people, but it's certainly the way we explain it when we can't count it b/c its too fast
Show all 4 comments Omg yes! One of my dance teachers is always doing this, and it must sound so weird to non-musicy people :) 1 day ago Lol. Yesss! My band director does that all the time and I can just imagine when people walk by to hear a jazz band sing/muttering odd rhythms in the form of dup dot buap de dada we bop or something or other. 12 hours ago Hahah, yes! my orchestra teacher does that all the time. And sometimes he also makes us say sentences that match the beat, like: “Hit you with a strawberry, big, bad, die!”. It must be very confusing for non-musicians XD 11 hours ago Haha yes! @omg moonsand my conductor makes us do that too XD its like; 'mother please can I go." "No eat a your vegetables." Gosh the language of music is so concerning sometimes when you try answer back 7 hours ago |

I’ve been thinking about posting a chapter of a longer story I’ve been working on, which you’re inspiring me to do! 1 day ago I would love to hear yours too! Thank you for telling me! 1 day ago yup!

That odd moment when you're watching a movie and they have a brief scene where someone makes fun of opera by playing a painful mash of operatic voices and it sounds exactly like a badly-made collage of the five songs you've been listening to on repeat for the last two weeks
I feel attacked. 21 hours ago |

Interesting words:sonder: (noun) The feeling of realizing that everyone has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it. wabi-sabi: (noun) the recognition of beauty within imperfection. (wasabi?) absquatulate: (verb) to leave without saying good-bye. what are some interesting words you guys know? Wow, those are so amazing! I love sonder, but I also never knew there was a word for leaving without saying goodbye! I have a book called Lost in Translation that shares words in other languages that can't be directly translated into English. It's really interesting to see that yes, there IS a word for that feeling that exists... 1 day ago I wish I've stumbled across more of these cool words. Here are two words that are maybe not interesting but I find fun to use :) Dowdy: (of person or their clothes) unfashionable and without style in appearance parsimonious: unwilling to spend money or use resources; stingy 1 day ago |

An interaction between me and my English teacher that made me annoyed:Me: *trying not to fit a label* I mean, I like to read, but I wouldn’t consider myself a readER... English teacher: OH, YOU’RE A READER. Me: Um I just don’t want to be seen as one thing? |

Is anyone else here hopeless romantic?
Show all 5 comments Oh yes! 2 days ago You know what, I’ve never actually been sure what the term “hopeless romantic” means... 2 days ago @NinaE A hopeless romantic is essentially someone who has high, sometimes unrealistic, hopes for a romance. Pretty similar to a hopeful romantic, which is someone with high, more realistic, hopes. I guess you could say hopeless romantics are optimists and hopeful romantics are realists. That's just what I've always heard and have understood the terms to mean, so someone correct me if I'm wrong 1 day ago *reads @laurenm definition. Raises hand* yeah when you put it like that then yes, I'm totally a hopeless romantic. Or like strangely optimistic bordering fantasy romantic. And if I can't have that then I don't really bother. Yup. 1 day ago In a broader sense, it can also refer to someone who idealizes certain tropes or ideas, regardless of their logic. (actually I don;t know if that is true , but that is how I always use it:) 1 day ago |

Is anyone else's blog acting a little weird? I tried to publish one of my poems this morning and it published it 6 times.
Yeah, I saw your post(s)... I had to repost an artwork this morning a few times because it wasn’t showing up in my blog, but I never had a piece that published multiple times... 12/01/2020 - 12:52pm |

I learned something today. When your pupils are dilated, it looks like the sun during an eclipse, especially if your eyes are dark. Try it sometime; turn on a light and stick your face up to a mirror. Your pupils will dilate, and it's gorgeous. I was blown away. It's something, as a writer, I'm ecstatic to uncover. It'll be such a beautiful sequence when describing new characters.
ooh! 12/01/2020 - 1:24pm Wow. Mind officially blown! I would love to see that in a piece of writing! 12/01/2020 - 1:31pm |
