| HI, EVERYONE!! Look I’m back (again). I think this has been my longest ‘not being here’ and the US is in governmental crisis mode. I knew I should have come back sooner (I definitely could have fixed it). |
| You may or may not have been able to fix it; but, you couldn't have mad it worse. Welcome back. |
| Wonderful people of WDC, I have news! Shocking, I know. I’ll be turning 18 in less than two weeks and as I’ve been peaking around the corners of writing.com again, I decided to post some more recent poetry. Haven’t written any in a while, any critique is welcome. Now back to your regularly scheduled programs… time to see what else I missed. This is a shameless plug yes, yes, I know. Morality can exist, I’m simply choosing to ignore that little tidbit right now. "An Unlicensed Memory" and "A Severed Flower " |
| Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday/anniversary on WDC. It’s been a wild two years and I still have much to share, so for those who have known for me since I joined this wonderful platform, thank you. For those who I have yet to meet, enjoy your time here. I’ve got a lot to do for myself before I’ll be ready to fully come back on WDC but it really makes a difference to know how many great people are here. Enjoy your day! |
| Not really an update on my life just yet, but it’s a tiny piece of news. "4 AM Thoughts " I’ll write an update later on… |
| I really want to say how much I love this community. A few days ago I received a package from a few people on here for my birthday and I want to say thank you to every person who put a card inside. I will treasure that forever. It was most definitely one of the kindest things anyone has ever given me. And to add on that joy, I got accepted to the school I applied to! Not only am I going to do awesome things and get a great education, I get to see my girlfriend. Gods, I can’t wait to see her. My friend also got in and I think we’re going to room together. I’m so excited! But yeah, that’s all I wanted to share. Thank you again for everyone who sent me birthday wishes! That was so sweet. |
| You're welcome MirandaCookies IS IN COLLEGE it was a pleasure to send you special birthday wishes from the "Cards of Love" members. I'm glad that we made it special for you! |
| To interrupt the daily conversation about writing, I present you this crap. What the absolute fuck? The Capital was just stormed by pro-Trump protesters. With guns. The National Guard is now being called in. Now protesting is okay; it is what our country wholeheartedly allows and has always allowed. But this is not peaceful protesting. It looks like a coup. And maybe I don’t know what this day is supposed to look like as this is only my second president I’ve seen, but this is horrible. People are knocking in windows, walking in offices and just sitting down like they own the place, and banging on doors with guns strapped to their back. How is this allowed? Is this normal? This can’t be normal. |
| No, this is not normal. This is sedition. This goes against everything good that our country stands for. I am completely disgusted. On the upside, Congress would not be cowed by this mob. They went ahead and finished the business at hand. Miranda, you give me hope. Your generation is the one that will make our future. I am very encouraged that you are able to see that the seditious acts of yesterday are very wrong. |
| No. Not normal. I have seen Presidents come and go since Kennedy — well, my memory only goes back to Nixon. He and his bag of dirty tricks are the worst I had seen, until now. But even he had the sense to back down. Unfortunately, the anger and the violence is not without precedent: George Wallace, Huey Long, the white-sheeted gang who-shall-not-be-named, the Civil War, and Aaron Burr and Benedict Arnold. With 250 years of history, I think it is remarkable we can count these events on two hands. And each generation renews this hope. THAT is what makes us truly good and great. Do not be afraid to step forth bravely; those of us who came before got your back. |
| I’m back! Not much happened this week. I’ve been rather bored. It’s strange not coming on here every day. Still, I’m really excited to finish my project for WDC and opening Kat’s gift on Christmas. I also will send my Secret Santa soon 😈 Wonder who it is... we shall never know. The ACT and exams are over, too. Woo hoo! Did I miss anything over the past week? |
| So the time has come once again: I have to leave. In hindsight I probably should have scheduled this test closer to my mom’s house so I didn’t have to leave but oh well. I’m off to try and not fail my ACT once again. I think I should be back next Friday but I’m not sure. May be two weeks. Either way, I’ll miss you lovely WDC people. Stay safe! |
| Okay so I’m back. As I am tired I will hopefully sleep after this and then blog later. I would like to just give a bunch of hearts to everyone, before I do though. I had a slight... hours filled... anxiety fest. People are mean and that was not my best moment. Regardless, I’ll address it later by blogging. Sleepy person tip: don’t stay up all night. |
| I’m going to be leaving WDC for a few hours. Might be back tomorrow, might not be back for longer. I don’t know. My anxiety deserves to die. But before I go, a quick reminder to people: don’t ever insinuate I’m a freak because of my disability. That’s not what makes me a freak. If you want to say it, then do it because I’m gay or I hate the dark or because I have unwanted thoughts. Fuck you if you say it because I struggle with things and I’m weak. I know I am. Fuck you. And now I’m going to go find a way to calm down. Bye, for now. |
| Honey, you are NOT a freak, nor are you weak. You're out here owning your vulnerabilities and telling off whoever the jackass is that said them. That ain't weak. You were even kind enough not to out them by name for the jerk they are. NEVER mistake kindness for weakness. Block the person. You are much loved here at WdC. Don't let any one person take that away from you. Take their insecurity and hand it back. They own it, make them live with it all by themselves. To said person who thought this shit was amusing: Hi, I have anxiety, bipolar disorder, and a physical disability. I'd love to chat. My inbox awaits. |
| Well, Associate Press has called it. Biden is officially America’s president now! First woman VP too. Woo hoo! [[Embed over limit (10).]] |
| Jay O'Toole What do you mean? I understand that in that story, God did not pick that man. Is that what you are saying to this? |
