Learning to be kinder to me.

Thoughts while waking to the sunrise.

The moon often inspires me to write, especially at night when the nostalgia of cuddling with a past lover washes over my mind.

I have been studying the tanka form, sometimes the original japanese 5/7/5/7/5 and also the english modern form of short/long/short/long/long format. Really practicing it beacuse I find it such a unique form, so much meaning in so little words and lines.

Depression is something I did not ask for but will not let stop me from the things I long for; achieving my dreams. In that darkness I face, the sparrow's singing, the ringing of hope will lead me to the light.
