7 Things You Did Right As a Blog Writer

1. You wrote it.
2. You didn’t care if you received 1 or 100 likes.
3. You sat and bled just as Hem said to do and it makes perfect fucking sense to you.
4. You read your work the next day and squirmed. You’re onto it. Keep going.
5. You haven’t any choice but to write so you do. And you do. And you do.
6. A family member read one of your pieces and said nothing. Instead they cried.
7. You love yourself enough to write. So fucking write.

Odd Walking Thoughts – Don’t keep

We walk into the shadow of death to pull one wounded child from its depths, to find another daft man standing in the corner. Leaves are shuffling outside my window. A man with a golden heart is gone. Another stands in a room looking. Don’t block me. I am here and at least I have my fingers. The man in the room standing, looking daft, asks for silence because silences never questions. Never says a damn word. The girl with the golden brow would have cared for a word. And the boy with the covers pulled tight would have cared for the same.
