I have been meaning to write something that would allow me to increase my writing skills. I have been diligent or at the least very active to some dregree in my poetry writing in the last 3 year, however that is an organic thing I have used to help me sort out my inner demons and what ever frame of mind I need to get out of me in times of dire strife.
Life strife. That's something we all have I think and I feel we as in Me myself and I will and have faced in the last 3 years now since my life turned upside down. Which I have written exhaustively over and over in drips and drabs to help again my mental state to a more cohesive and less volatile one that can withstand the test of time.
A new chapter. You will have noticed I have fallen head over heels with someone very dear to me. She is the light that brightens my moonlit nights that I feel it has made my days feel like a blur. A time warp. A six hour block turned into a half hour memory filled with no akward silence or imaginary interactions between the both of us. We are taking it slow. Inseparable. I cannot get enough of being next to her. SHe is busy. I am floating. We gel so well.
My muse. My inspiration. No amount of words can ever describe how I am next to her. Minutes feel like a lifetime if I am left to my own accord with her not being next to me.
But enough about that. I can go on and on.
So what is this about? The post today. It is a reminder to myself that I have not forgotten what I was telling myself a while back. Five years in the making. In the thinking. Planning on writing something niche or at the very least what I think I can write about without making things up.
A monthly write up of roughly a thousand words. That has substance and I feel can make a difference if read and digested by an audience. The topic? I am yet to come up with it but I feel I need to commit to this thousand word write up and a single thought I am now putting into words and typing up so that, you, my dear audience knows I have voiced out my intentions.
Call me out. When it does not appear. I need your help also since I know I am not perfect. No one is. Unless of course you say you are then I will not argue with you. Unless of course you say you are a god or are god. That is a different story to tell.
The topic. Have to start somewhere. Anywhere. Or anything. But niche. To me.
For Cebu to improve as a city the people living in it should have their living standards improved, who is responsible for that and what can the government and its people do to make it happen. The poor needs to take ownership for their living standards.
That's a pretty specific statement and hopefully not too contentious. I hope I do justice to it once I write it up and post. It doesn't give lots of confidence when I sound hesitant with my statement. But beggars cant be choosers. We all just have to take what we are given.
The date. I think I will have this done by the same date in February. On the 29th. Hmm wonder if it's a leap year. Bar it not having a 29 in Feb this year I will have this post on the 1st of March. Hah I have already created a jeopardy situation even before I start with my intention. It is what it is.
Now I just have to figure out which community I will post it. Then again, after that brief thought I think it will be posted in the community since it is going to be specific to Cebu.
On another topic. An RPG for a mayor. Dang, that's some crazy random thing to happen in the Philippines, or is it? South of Philippines holds some crazy Filipinos. Wonder if that could be part of the argument in my upcoming write up. We'll see..
My writing desk
Well I think that is how crazy the world is becoming. It's like a turning point or something towards a greater calamity. An upheaval of sorts. Reminding me of that thesis by Huntington, "The Clash of Civilizations". I mean there are great things happening around lately but of course it also a lead up especially when there is an on going war in Ukraine with a superpower, tensions in Asia and Trump.
I am starting to get convinced my write up will not be a world breaking or earth shattering one but I know my brain will be strained from the effort in writing something that has a thesis statement being answered brought forward by mine own self.
Well I guess I'll leave it here for now and have a crack at the thousand word write up in a months time.
Oh and of course when I am so inclined a few poems to tide me over.
Laters.
