production-oriented

I think I’m more of a production-oriented person, rather than a social-service-oriented person. I’m more industrious than I am social and people-centered. I think I might be more introverted than extroverted, which might explain the aforementioned phenomenon. I would probably say I’m a hard worker and an independent worker. I’m a “do my work and…

prose poem

Beginning of class It’s a crowd, a room full of people. Everyone’s talking at the same time. There’s too much energy in the setting. It’s a chaotic vibe. One student is smiling. Another seems to be laughing at something. Another is bothered by the hot temperature of the room, and she raises her hand to…

Spiritual growth  Maybe I should stop walking around like a ghost, like a shell of a person. I need to walk in order to get places, like my front door after I get out of my car; and to different spots in my house. And I still wanna take up jogging, for my health. I’m…

Hello everyone. Today I found out that I got waitlisted for an online MFA program; an online MFA in creative writing with a concentration in poetry. If space opens up, I guess I’m in. And I’m actually currently enrolled in a master’s in English literature, online. My backup plan is to just go with my…

essay :3

Visual art, illustration, drawing, cartoons, comics, and sketches are a form of escape for me, escapism. It’s the one thing that comes a bit more naturally for me, as untrained as I am at it. I’m not a trained artist, and so I often draw in a childlike, “flat,” one-dimensional manner. But as bad as…
