college affects my writing...

in the most negative way possible!
I love the art of written word,
I love the puzzle to get all the words to fit just right.
However, my writing is suffering,
and i hate it.

My keyboard has been out of commission,
but I'M BACK!

I have confided in literature as my secret indulgent.
When my day ends badly,
when I wish to escape,
after long sessions of prayer,
I always pick up a good book and reinvent the sequence of events as if I am the protagonist, and the antagonist, and every other character holding a speaking part.

Literature is a work of art,
it is an art, like much other art, that is quite under appreciated.

Within the binds of novel is an alternate universe,
you get to create it,
and as you live in it you gain wisdom beyond your years.

As I divulge in my latest read,
I yearn to better myself as a writer,
so that I may offer others such wondrous experiences!

This is one of my only passions I give in to that doesn't benefit the general public.
I encourage you to dive into a good read,
and should you not like the universe you open,
open another,
and another,
until your life is changed.

We are what we allow ourselves to be consumed with,
and where I was once consumed with promiscuity,
 self-mutilation,
 an eating disorder,
and much much more sin,
I know find myself consumed with written words.

I love people,
and I am an active volunteer,
but literature is building me.

I find the best foundation of all literature calls it's self the corner stone.
My Bible is the first work of art I chose to turn to,
but not the only.

Two things are certain in life,
you can never own too many well-written books,
and you can never come close to ever reading too much.

Here's to passion,
and written word,
and most of all,
the word of God.
