“To grow older is to forget the vines creeping up your wall, / To only see that they have grown too tall.” Is such a beautiful line and this whole piece is so exquisite. You describe the passing of time so well. It’s a good reminder we should still look at the birds and flowers and slow down and breath. Amazing piece. Keep writing!
What a lovely short story. Your writing flows so well and I was invested from beginning to end. Love the message. “Enough so I can breath again” is my favorite line, I can feel that from the main character. Glad I was lucky enough to read this. Keep writing!
Even if we do not consciously remember an event, it may still have a psychological effect that changes our behavior, thereby changing others' psyches, and so on. Every event, while seemingly insignificant, changes the world; its absence would change life as we know it. Therefore, it must have happened, and it must have been important that it did.
yeah I agree! or you could do what I do with writer's block/feeling stuck, which is to ask someone (anyone, could be a friend or a parent or a random word generator) for 3-5 random words and then write a poem or short story using those. you can also write down how you feel in messy terms while it's happening and then write a poem later when your head feels clearer!
I hope sharing this helps you be you.
It’s brave to share what’s in your heart and head, if not hard. Wonderful piece. Keep writing!

Incredibly moving and thoughtful piece and I could see the image of everyone dancing and this small but powerful flame. Keep writing.
Lovely photograph! This made me smile.

Wow!! This is amazing
this is how I feel right now - an ICE raid just happened up the street from my school. not here, not anywhere, not ever.
