I am drawing this series to a close with a few remarks. This is a time of transitioning for me. I am in between learning how to let go of being a teenager and accepting what it means to live … Continue reading R&F: Endings to Beginnings
Reflection: Summer goes fast every year, and I don’t know if this brings consolation or makes me feel old. I also find myself wishing for a deeper connection to my surroundings in this time of my life, a spiritual awakening, a reading of the future, a raising of energy. A discovery of a ghost living in the wires of my house. Reading this makes me want to believe. I’ll keep searching. Best Summary Quote: “Call it a sign, call it a spirit, or call it a mechanical error, but I believe that someone or something was trying to communicate with … Continue reading R&F: The Poltergist
Reflection: I don’t have much to say about this post, other than I want every girl struggling with self-image and body dysmorphia to read it. This was one of the first times I opened up about my personal inner battle … Continue reading R&F: The Line
“I am lost at the moment. My colors have blended together, and I am at war with myself.” Continue reading R&F: July 25th
Reflection: My camera roll has now grown to over 11,000 pictures in the past three years, and I haven’t deleted anything since then. I have mixed feelings about the whole situation, because I’m glad that I can look back at … Continue reading R&F: Out of Focus
Reflection: This was a fun, quick, and directly to the point post, a strange read in the middle of July. I am proud of this piece, because one of the best things about being a writer (or anyone with creative power) is to sprinkle shade into your work. There’s a reason people journal for therapy, and I’ve always looked at this blog as a journal of sorts and this was just one of my many diss tracks on the album. Anyone who’s wronged me ends up as my inspiration. Looking back now, this post was not about the weather at … Continue reading R&F: Knocked Out Cold
Reflection: Nothing has changed about the will to improve my writing. I genuinely have always sought out ways to enhance my practice, and this post has inspired me to continue with the journal prompts, because we all need a little … Continue reading R&F: Journal Writing Prompt #151
Reflection: In this (rare) time of my life, I can remember not caring about too much. I didn’t care about the way I looked, sometimes felt, or about what I was doing with my life. I miss this feeling often, but I know how important it is to grow up and seek direction. I was content with who I was and what I was doing, and I hadn’t been diagnosed with cold urticaria or seasonal affective disorder yet. I admire the strength I carried with me, and my use of metaphors and imagery (“a hot knife cutting through butter”- that’s … Continue reading R&F: Stray Snowballs
Everything around me is bright green, a healthy green. It may be due to the past 3+ days of rain and gray clouds hiding the sun, (which promises to come back eventually with each passing summer day). That’s something that … Continue reading Reflect and Flourish: A Series
