May your Sunday be filled with soft chairs, good books, and the peace that only comes from getting lost in someone else’s words for a while.

I’m working on gathering all my old poems to mix it up a little & release a poetry book as my 3rd project, these poems are from way back when, I must’ve written this when is was 17/18 so @ least 10 yrs ago!?!

So listen, I know that Taylor Swift’s lyrics & my stanza aren’t exactly identical twins, but I’d maybe say fraternal twins??? Not bcuz of looking alike per se but bcuz I’d say they come from the same place, the same feeling

As a writer it’s incredible to me to think that Taylor & I had the same feeling or @ least similar feelings @ 1 point!!! Me 10 yrs ago, her 7 yrs ago!!! It really blows my mind

Not fan to celebrity or even person to person, but writer to writer, poet to lyricist I’d just be so in love to get the chance to work w/ Taylor herself, we both are all about keeping our work purely our own so maybe not even work together, just getting to meet w/ her & talk to her about her writing process & how she came up w/ those lyrics would be life changing for me

It never hurts to work hard to manifest your dreams so here’s my 1st attempt @ getting @taylorswift to notice me & my writing, can every1 who sees this help me get this out there so @taylornation or Taylor herself will notice & acknowledge!!!🥺😬😮

Honest story, I might be crazy but I think it’s worth a shot

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

The summer between the end of high school and the start of college, I wrote a ridiculous play about pirates and put on a staged reading with some friends at an amphitheatre at a local park before a small audience of friends and family. It was never published or staged again. But I just got a message from an old high school friend I haven’t seen in years. He accidentally quoted the play in a conversation with friends, was asked what he was quoting, he couldn’t remember either, and wracked his brain until he finally remembered it was that silly play reading that we did one day in the park over 10 years ago. It made me happy. (The line was, “Huzzah for mercantilism!” by the way.)

A very tiny percentage of creators go on to be famous, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t remember little things you did for years and years. Who came up with most of the world’s most famous jump rope rhymes? Who coined some of the famous idioms we use in daily speech? Who made up ‘Jingle Bells, Batman Smells?” Somehow, all of these things stuck and spread around.

When I was a small child, I saw a high school put on a production of the musical HONK. In one song, the mother duck describes various dangers that her baby should avoid in the water, including fishing line, which could strangle him. A member of the ensemble played the role of fishing line, doing a maniacal laugh and over-the-top strangling motions, and I found it hilarious– and to this day, that’s an example I often think of when talking about how ensemble members can still stand out in theatre. The guy who played the role might not even remember that he did that, but I do.

I took Suzuki violin lessons as a kid. The teacher made up lyrics to some of the songs, and she let her students make some up, too. Now whenever I hear the instrumental of one of those pieces, I always remember these ridiculous lyrics about a skunk that we sang in violin class. I don’t even know which student invented them!

In middle school, I found a video about atoms parodying Bill Nye made by some kids for a school product. It probably had less than 1,000 views, but I think of quotes from that video all the time. They had a parody of “We Will Rock You” with the chorus, “Protons, neutrons, electrons” that I think about a lot.

I just love that this is part of human life. Our memories don’t just pick up quotes from great art, literature, and music, but little things, too.

"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"

Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.

Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.

#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)

YES. all books. every kind

i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.

i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.

Sometimes I don’t know what to write

I have so much to say, so I stay thinking till night

I have to figure out where to even start before I can choose my words

My thoughts do matter; I think they should be heard

I figure no place better to start than where I am, but where am I???

Am I in the middle of nowhere or in the middle of a stage just blind

Things to let out, sentences to babble

Spilled feelings is more than just dabble

Spilled thoughts, spilled poetry that’s kind of what I do

My battle is to direct that to the correct “you”

Bcuz you see, I write for you even if I primarily write for me

I write to make a difference in the world I see

I think I’ve done that already just writing about being stuck in thought

Bcuz other people feel that too & knowing you’re not the only 1, & not alone does a lot

non-writers will never understand the mental illness of writing an entire conversation in your head while doing dishes and then forgetting every word the second you open a blank doc

The only thing scarier than telling someone you love them is telling them that you still love them.
