My New Hobby And Appreciation For Life

My New Hobby and Appreciation for Life

2021 was a year of sadness and grief for me because of the loss of my grandpa. I felt hopeless and did not have the motivation to do anything. I lost interest in a lot of hobbies and communicating with my friends (I now only have 1 friend). But during that tough moment in my life, I ran into something that has continued to peak my interest. Haiku poetry. I ran into haiku while at the library (I had lost interest in reading and was looking for something of interest) and fell in love with how short yet vivid this short form of poetry is. It makes me think that one doesn’t need to say a lot to tell a story. In the process of coming to terms with my grandpa’s passing, I always went for long walks to get some fresh air (it was hard to push myself out of bed). I was always fascinated by the wildlife all around me. So I spent most of the year writing haiku to keep my mind off of anything that had to do with sorrow and grief. I would always write what I saw on my walks and create a new haiku about my experience. It’s interesting that haiku is a journey of experiencing through the senses of the writer.

It is now 2022 and I plan to share my haiku with anyone who is interested. I wish to be creative again and my love for haiku motivates me to go outside and appreciate life the best I can. I hope you all enjoy my upcoming poems, thank you!

As a society valuing convenience over experience is why everything sucks today. Blockbuster was an EXPERIENCE. the movie theater was an EXPERIENCE. Music stores were an EXPERIENCE. Arcades were an EXPERIENCE. I don’t want to sit in my house forever!!!!! I don’t want everything streamed to my electronics!!!!! I want to sit in front of the big silver screen for 2 hours with a coke freeze and come out with my life changed!!!! I want to live and I don’t care the cost!!!!!!

LMAOOOO WHO DID THIS?????? XD XD

House of the Dragon 1x10: In an alternate universe.

The Pink Dread

I thought I was the only one who did this....O.o

ok so when were yall gonna tell me that pacing around the room while listening to a song and aggressively acting out scenarios with fictional people is a mental illness??????

In a nutshell!!! I tried to avoid HotD like a plague because of the disappointment of GoT season 8....now I’m obsessed with it.

I caught a glimpse of the Monarch butterfly migration on my school’s campus in August. They are so beautiful and hope to see them again very soon.
