19 with too much time on my hands so decided I would write away. 📝
Love reading; anything by Nabokov is a winner to me 📘
I'm into really obscure topics 😜

Poetry in motion
In a world over saturated with drippy romcoms and killer shark-tornado movies I decided to compile my own movie list. These are all films I think have a special artistic beauty to them from their soundtrack down to their narrative. And with all of us now confined to our homes we have extra time to be productive or become a couch potato. But if you do choose the easy option you might as well make it fulfilling and impactful and that's the point of this list. I think it's time to try a few underrated but wholly more moving films than American Pie 1 & 2.

Why I find writing so difficult
I’ve written on and off since I was a little girl but back then it was so much easier. I was writing for no one but myself and even if someone did happen to read my work it never bothered me. At 19 I'm now so aware of myself and how others might perceive me that writing has become difficult. It’s become harder to write uninhibited and that is the ultimate goal. To write what you want and how you want without fear of other peoples’ opinions. I’ll often find myself writing a piece that I adore but will eventually render unreadable once I start thinking about all the people reading it. This seems like a pretty valid reason though. As with all the other *normal* points like the quest for perfectionism and endless drafts that never amount to anything much. But then there are all the other, irrational, seemingly pointless things that make writing so difficult for me.

Missing the invisible
I miss the invisible. I miss what can't be seen and never really could be seen. It's something that was or is a part of all of us. A link to your past and evidence of your innocence and your honour; depending on your values. I miss my virginity. And even now I'm not sure if it is really that that I miss. Maybe it's the things that come with it that I miss or maybe I just miss the girl I was before I knew about loving and desire.
