non nonsense

Do all writers drop everything in their hands and run to a notebook to splur out genius ideas? Is it normal to stop everything you’re doing when you feel the need to write?

Appreciate the small things. Look back at your day. There is always one thing that made it better. A minor detail. Something you would not ordinarily see. Now look harder. Closely. Perhaps it was that one song the old folk in the car next to you was playing. Or, a simple compliment from a stranger on your worn out jeans. Maybe even a penny you found on the ground as you were walking to class. Or something that struck you a memory from the past. I don’t know. Whatever it was, whatever it is, there is always something, something something something that was there to give you a brighter light. I used to think it only happened in the movies, but my life, to me, is such a series. I’ve probably knocked out every genre and gave a new definition to each. You might feel soulless, but we have more soul to feel what feeds off us. That could be bliss. Or even, fear. We bring it with us, forward. Just don’t forget the things you left behind, even if you don’t remember every detail. 

The injustice might power over it, over you. The style might stop you from wanting in. Just don't forget, you are alive. This too shall pass.
