How I am going to write...

Feels like I might slowly, very very slowly, be crawling back to writing? Not sure if it is a good thing at all for me. Because writing does make me feel terribly inadequate at times. And self-loathsome too. But it sure won't kill, will it? So.....

I have decided I am going to write like nobody is reading me.

I am going to write like I care a hang.

I am going to write like my hands are just typing out my thoughts.

I am going to write like I am freeing my chest, emptying my head.

I am going to write like I have no friend to talk to except paper.

I am going to write without any goal or direction and see where it takes me, what it does for me and not for others.

I am going to write to bring a smile to my face.

I am going to write because emotion moved me.

I am going to write because I moved clutter out of my life.

I am going to write to chuckle aloud, guffaw if possible.

I am going to write to talk about my feeling of contentment and absence of struggle and conflict.

I am going to write to express my joy in doing things I like in my way.

I am going to write about the immense joy that some things bring to me.

I am going to write because my heart will burst if I do not put the love I feel on paper.

I am going to write because it is a travesty to stay mute when I have so many things to say.

I am going to write because I have had a fairly long albeit enjoyable bout of consuming others' thoughts.

I am going to write because a plant sprouting a new leaf never ceases to amaze me as if it were happening for the first time.

I am going to write to say how plants are capable of making someone a mother.

I am going to write to make people realize that giving birth alone does not make you a mother, it is feeling a mellow kind of love and tolerance for everything in this universe that makes you one.

I am going to write about how riling up soil callused my hands with a texture finer than any other.

I am going to write about how tending to plants is the soporific that doctors should prescribe their sleepless patients.

I am going to write until words do not drag their feet.

I am going to write until I have nothing to say.

Best of Both Worlds

PHOTO PROMPT © J Hardy Carroll Coffee in hand, I watched the flag. As always, it raised questions. Who am I? Where do I belong? Where does my allegiance lie? I came to this land to carve a life for myself. With time, I blended in. Except when a flag sighting causes the routine, existential flutter in my heart. It feels like being torn between a biological and a foster mother. The former gave me life, the latter shaped it. As always, I tell myself it's all good. That the two can coexist. That being with one did not mean I did not love the other.

Thoughts On a Busy Workday

It’s mayhem with these burger-hogging little devils. I can sense Xerxes waiting to hog the blue charger. It charges faster. I want it because it’s closer to the tangerine one, Xana’s favorite. Fatso’s waddling up grinning. He’s consumed 5400 calories this week. His life expectancy is 36 years, 2 months, 3 days. I feel disoriented, almost sorry. I desperately need volts. Wish I’d powered off last night! My plan is to outperform my program and make it to NASA, maybe Wall Street. I’ll miss Xana. She’s happy here. A pity. Wish they’d programmed ambition into that sexy piece of code… Friday Fictioneers 12th July 2019 Word Count: 100

Routine

Nothing changed.  Leah’s projects consumed her, bored us.  Claire the Considerate heard her out with a halo. Grace looked combative.  I looked down hoping gravity lowered anxiety. Jason wouldn’t ask about Riham but his eyes did. The house bell chimed.   Riham. With some Nathaniel... Jason suddenly turned into the life of the party.  I wanted Leah back… Photo by Lisa Fotios @ Pexels.com Twittering Tales #144 – 9 July 2019 Word count: 285
