Hi readers! I’m soo sorry that I haven’t updated for SUCH a long time. Life’s been really busy and I haven’t gotten any time to finish any stories. Trying to catch up with “doing” certain things, haha. But I am STILL very inspired and motivated to keep this storyblog up especially now that I’m even more busy. And yes, I was going to type this apology for awhile but I thought I can’t just apologize, gotta you know include something else.
A brief update to explain why I have been so BUSY… so last post was in March… which is like half a year ago. I know y’all heard me say how stories don’t just randomly get done in a day and since this site is strictly for stories (or poems), I’m not going to be here often cause this isn’t intended to include any of my personal life stuff… except brief updates like this one. So with all the school work, I didn’t have time to write any stories and I was working hard to get ready the following school year. And during the summer, wow, it was a packed summer! But hopefully, I can keep up the stories now that everything is a little ‘more’ settled. I’m still adapting and settling into my new environment (well it’s NOT so new compared to many others but it’s ‘new’ enough!) It’s been crazy busy and I’m still crazy busy now. Lots of school work –> midterms, assignments, events, workshops, projects, wow the list will never end! But I assure you that I will not end off the 2oo9 year without posting a new story! In fact, you may be surprised with what I have in store for y’all! Anyways, to end off this apology, I will include here a poem I wrote alongside with the last story I posted up in early 2oo9. It’s kind of random but hope you see the connections, haha.
The Two Sided Journal (Poetry Ver.)
A journal.
Thick, thin, long, or short.
A hundred, a thousand,
or even a million pages.
One that will last him
forever and hold his
simple words,
Thoughtful feelings,
Enigmatic secrets,
And beautiful stories.
Each page was filled,
Filled with love,
Filled with beauty,
Filled with everything,
That she wanted me to know.
When she left, her soul stayed
In these journals she gave me.
All my pondering questions
Were never left unanswered.
Their love was simple,
Like her story had told.
It was complicated,
Like his feelings had revealed.
But the beauty came through
These speechless pages
Of their creation
Of a two sided journal
From the first page
This magical item
Linked them together
Bringing love from far
To become closer within
Up until the last page
When the back cover closes
This collection of words
Will be safely sealed away.
