I read my old writings today.
Old: before I was told writing is communication, not expression
(a notion I reject).
I fell head over heels for writing because it told me stop thinking; just feel.
There was such hope in each word I found.
Now, my writing is different.
Different: to be understood, not felt.
The knowledge took away the hope.
(That’s why children are foolishly hopeful; they know so little)
Knowledge can ruin a person. It can remove all charm from life. Or it can infuse life with charm, reminding
there is more to life than just living it.
