Short Story...

Hi! Here is a little section from a short story I wrote in creative writing sophomore year! I have a little less than twenty pages, and I want to continue writing it now. I hope you enjoy it! 

*If you have any requests for what topics I should write about in my blog, I would LOVE to hear them!! I will write about anything!*

I stood up from my bed and looked at myself in my mirror that is just laying up against my AC/DC poster, since I never bothered to attach it to anything like a door or even hang it from the wall. I was wearing what I always wear: a Queen rock band t-shirt, black ripped jeans and my black Dr. Martens boots. My hair is still straight from when I flat ironed it earlier today, and I suddenly have bags under my eyes. Everything in the house suddenly got silent, and it hurt my ears. It hurt my ears because silence is the loudest noise when you know you caused it. 

I put on my olive green utility jacket from my closet and pulled my hair out from the back when it got stuck as the thought came that I should leave. 

go for a walk...you need to leave…just go....no thinking allowed…

I tried to be quiet as I walked down the stairs slowly. I looked for my parents and brother, but they were still watching the news. I did not say a word as I walked out the door and into the crisp fall night.

That was just a VERY small snippet from the short story. When I finish it all, I will find a way to share it!

Thank you ♡

I am a Child of...

Hi! I am honestly not sure what to make my first blog post about... I know I love writing. So, here is a poem I wrote in AP Lang this year that shows just how much I love it! The original poem is titled "Child of the Americas" by Aurora Levins Morales.  I am a Child of Writing By Anna Flynn I am a child of writing , A tan- skinned Bostonian in Massachusetts, A child of two creative parents, who I feel carried this trait down to me.   I am a  woman who loves to draw pictures through words, 5 A product of a poet for a father and story writer for a mother. An educated journalist you might say.  I  write about my anxieties: I believe it might help others, My pencil is a wand giving life to the words that describe my emotions.  I am young , still living. Passion is my drive, 10 Speaking my fire inside through my voice, I call it my instrument: The power of the female gender, The power of expression, the ability to tell your audi...

runner girl

I love to run.  I can’t imagine my life without it.  I used to be afraid of it.  I let it control me. Now, I have grown to find the affection in it again.  However, the more I think about it,  I wonder if I ever stopped loving it. Maybe it is just that my love grew too strong…  too extreme.  Now, when I run I imagine myself when I was younger, less mature and fragile.  I have begun to remember why I started to run.  Why I began this journey.  Every step I take shows me why I first took that step.  Why I started to run.  I run because I truly love this sport.  I run because it is a way to show myself I am strong,  I am passionate, I am brave.  I run because I love it.

jealousy

Sometimes I get jealous of other people. Is that the right word?  Sometimes I envy those who have “more” than me,  are more “successful” than me.  Wait, what does “successful” even mean.  Even though I am 20 years old,  my jealousy for others is still there.  I wonder what it feels like to have a large group of friends,  a group of people that actually want you around.  Like… they want to invite you places.  What is it like to have so much praise on social media that you don’t have to turn the likes and comments off on posts? What is it like to have people text you first?  Sometimes I get jealous of other people.  I wonder what it is like to be the receiver rather than giver.  Be validated and complimented.  I thought the jealousy feeling would go away. I thought it would go away when I “grew up.”  Society says you’re “grown up” when you’re not a teenager anymore,  but society says a lot of things.  Society ...
