Life

The Basic Witch and The World She Creates.
Over the last couple of days I have been dreaming of a new concept for my Vocal page. Trying something new and different. I wouldn’t give up poems, but maybe I could try my hand at keeping a blog.

An artful life
What is an artful life? Art is everything, it is the way we walk, talk, move, cook, laugh and smile. It can be in every moment. How you put together the food that you nourish your body with. Do you take time to make your food beautiful and present it in a way that makes you happy? Or do you burn it by accident because you’re not fully present or you’re thinking or working on something at the same time? Being present is the most important thing with art. You have to be in the now. If your mind is wandering and wondering “what else could I be doing right now” or thinking, thinking, thinking about a whole list of things you need to get done- washing, shopping, cooking for the week- then you’ll never be able to create art that is a representation of your soul on fire.

What About My Destiny?
His childhood passed as he walked on tiptoes, to avoid provoking his father's anger and to avoid being noticed by his bullying friends, and out of fear of awakening the ghosts of the dark. He was very delicate and felt isolated among all the harsh people surrounding him, as if he were a banner of peace fluttering among the ruins of a battlefield littered with blood and ashes. When he wanted to sleep at nine o'clock, he would dig his small fingers into his hair and move it around to fall asleep. Unable to, he would clear his throat of remnants of tears and sobs to sing himself a lullaby to help him sleep, and he would not finish this cleansing until dawn. His singing was accompanied by sighs and stuttering. He did not interact much with people, so he was not good at speaking and stuttered a lot. He loved being with trees and birds, and a small colt, which he considered his only friend, would sneak up to him whenever his mother was away from him, as the colt frightened him with its size and the noise of its neighing. Then, after several nights, he was shocked to find that the colt had grown to the size of his mother, which he had always feared. This disappointment almost tore his heart apart.

The Tale of the Lost City
In the heart of a dense, unexplored jungle, hidden from the eyes of civilization, lay a forgotten city. Its name, lost to the annals of time, was whispered in hushed tones among the tribes that roamed the wilderness. Legends spoke of its grandeur, its wealth, and its ultimate downfall. A young adventurer named Kael, driven by curiosity and a thirst for adventure, set out to find this lost city. Armed with ancient maps, cryptic riddles, and a heart filled with courage, he ventured deep into the untamed jungle. His journey was fraught with danger. He faced treacherous terrains, encountered venomous creatures, and braved the wrath of the elements. But Kael's determination remained unwavering. He knew that the lost city held secrets that could change the course of history. After weeks of perilous travel, Kael stumbled upon a hidden clearing. Amidst the dense foliage, the ruins of a magnificent city emerged from the undergrowth. Its towering structures, once adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors, were now covered in moss and vines.

Battling My Work Lapses As An Author
It stresses me out when I don't post on Vocal for more than a few days. To me, Medium and Vocal feel like a job, and not posting feels like I am calling out without a doctor's note. I know that's probably not what it's supposed to feel like, but thanks to my wanting to make something of myself, it does. But I am not the sanest of people, and my life is complex so posting doesn't always take priority - even if I am stressing myself out in the back of my mind over it.
