Blog Manifesto

Blog Manifesto


This blog is dedicated, as the title would suggest, to the qualities of being young. We are young writers. We are playful and sensitive, fluid and changing. We are unashamed with our art. We wonder at the world, puzzle over the meanings of things and twirl in delight at images and ideas that float by, grabbing at them as they pass. We are curious and constantly inquiring and prying concepts open and taking assumptions apart. We are on the ground, close to the earth. We have bare feet and wiggle our toes into nature. We carry our blankies still and wrap up cozy and comfy with each other and tell ghost stories and shiver at creepy things. We laugh and we cry and we take a lot of naps, drained from our outings and exertions.

We write as gifts to each other, tying them up in ribbon and leaving them around for each other to find, hiding and waiting for the person to wake up and read. Surprise! We weave our stories together to create a bond. One writes, then the other. then another again. We have a shared reality that we have crafted, bit by piece by patch, by string. We write simple, honest authentic things, with our unique voices. You can tell each one of us from the other, without knowing who wrote what. Our voices are clear and gentle and original. We whisper and our personalities roar! Like children, our feelings are strong, our passion for what we write shakes us. We are moved and sometimes left breathless, by our own words or the words of each other. We cannonball into each others spaces. We fall backward into each others writing, like into a pile of leaves or a soft bed. We gobble and grin and ask for more. (footnote kudos to JC)

Then we go to bed, wake up to a new day and do it all over again!

{[ Day Two ]}

Today I wake as a different person from this past week of events. I have no headaches, sickness, or tears. Today I feel a little bit different. Not alot but some. I went outside at 11 pm last night just walking around in the nice spring air. Nothing else better to do. Walked around the edge of the yard, one foot in front of the other like a little kid does playing around. Head down the whole time watching my feet as I did. Constantly reminding myself over and over of something someone told me. About baby steps. Baby steps is what I'm taking. I want to be able to stand and walk proudly back. I want to feel that rush of happiness once I finally make my crawl to a walk.
And so while I was outside..stepping one foot infront of the other not nearly paying attention to were I was going staring at my feet I ran head first into one of the blazers. Cussed and held my head. Pissed off at myself that I wasn't paying attention to were I was going. Now I have a lump on the left side of my head and its sore and it freakin hurts.
But..now that I think of what I just said..just now it makes me think a little more. My damn head hurts but maybe I needed a lump. A lump that I can heal on my own. That my body will heal. Ha funny how the  human body can take so many bangs and scars and still manage to heal in time. I've got plenty of scars to know that they can heal. So damn it..I'm going to do this. And the only way I can do this is alone. Or at least I think so. I still need a friend to talk me through that damn car thing. Hope he will..
Gah I totally got off of what I was talking about a minute ago. I usually do that. I drag off into a million different directions when I start thinkin. And omg its taking me forever to get rid of 570 people on my friends list. I am not going to add people back that I don't talk to.I will only be adding back real friends. Thats what a friends list is for. Actual fkin friends. Haha yea yea. LAVA! See..that just now showed one of my real friends. One that I don't talk to much but at least I keep her in my thoughts. Why keep over 500 people that I don't think about or care for? Its a real waste of space. And damnit I'm uncluttering my life. Like Billy. SC*#W Him. His ass is getting deleted today. I don't want to keep staring at his "I miss you, I love you" crap. Oh and another thing. I just re reading myself noticed that not a single word so far is 'sad'. Wow that kinda amazes me I'm not blogging about sadddd things right now. Yay go me.Haha. Omg I need to get back to the story at hand..
Okk after I bashed my head into the back end of the blazer I needed to sit down. I didn't want to get my feet and sandles wet by walking across the already dewy grass over to the patio table chairs. So I walked around to the drivers side of the blazer and sat. Left the door open for a while as I rubbed my head. Then..I turned almost as if I forgot that my head was hurting. And put my hands on the stearing wheel. I gripped it pretty hard. Closed my eyes and tried to think of someones voice. I sat there I don't know how long trying to hear that voice. And..almost as a whisper I hear a tiny sound. Was a single word almost..it told me to "breathe.."
