Thank You, Writing- An Ode by Anna Flynn

Thank You, Writing- An Ode by Anna Flynn


Thank you letters are a well known piece of writing. 

This might be considered a thank you letter. 


I believe that writing is the most beautiful form of art. 

It is as beautiful as a sunflower on a spring morning. 

It is as beautiful as a pink and yellow sunset on a warm summer night. 


Writing has the power to give voice to anyone 

no matter their background or present social status. 


Personally, writing has allowed me to express myself. 

It has given me the ability to see the world from a philosophical perspective. 


Writing has handed me the mental freedom to reveal the fractured mosaics of my life:

the words no one speaks and the feelings everyone hides. 

I like to call it my friend who has been with me through it all. 

My friend who will never leave my side despite my mistakes and regrets. 


When I put pen to paper, 

it is as if my hands are my voice. 

Screaming. 

Shouting. 

Even crying at times. 


My penmanship demonstrates the growth of my writing. 

When I was young, 

I turned to poetry to illustrate my current life. 

When I maturated, 

I turned to blog posts to update my friends on my mental well-being and random thoughts. 


Writing is something I hope I never lose. 

It is my companion when I am searching for an answer or even myself. 

I hope I never lose writing because 

what is the world with no emotion? 

What is the world with no art?

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.

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...

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 ...
