May this letter finds you in good health and spirit. I don’t really know where to begin for a lot of emotions are bottling up inside, as I write this.
You really fill a great position for me in my heart. Each and every word of yours holds a deep value. I know, I have told this many a time before, but really, you are a most amazing teacher for me. As I write this, I am filled with gratitude and admiration for you. Thank you for everything!
Well, this is a poem I tried to make “sunny”. After a very long time I am trying to write “sunny” poems to look at the brighter side of life. The last one I wrote was in 2016, at the age of 12.
This is my first ever collaboration in WordPress and it had been really great! William Johnson, a talented poet, and I came together to write this poem.
It was such a pleasure to work with a spontaneous and beautiful poet like him! He certainly did work hard and quick to come up with something so beautiful 🙂
Participants:

A Short Beautiful Journey
Parts by William,
The life is a journey, The road is very stormy, Achieving milestones is the goal, Maintaining your health and control, Obstructions will never stop, They keep coming up nonstop, Ignore them and keep moving on, From sunset till the dawn ,
Parts by me:
Life is a path going up and down,
Like the curves of the hills,
Sometimes green, sometimes brown,
Sometimes soft, sometimes hard to feel,
And impossible to take.
Up and down in a choppy path,
Surprises and shocks to come around,
Beasts and bushes, warmth and wrath,
Light and dark both found in a quest called life.
Thank you again, William Johnson, for this collab! And a big thank you to everyone for reading! Have a happy weekend ahead! 🙂

Copy and paste the meaning of the tag into your post. 5. Answer the questions. 6. Tag at least one person. 7. Have fun and enjoy the rest of your month!
To Renee,
I don’t know how I can thank you. I don’t have enough words. But for me you are a true figure of compassion, and bright ray of warmth that brings me a smile in the dark, shady days. You are an ending light, a motherly figure, and a treasure that the tides of WordPress had brought me too. Thank you so much, thank you beyond words…
Here are the questions and my answers:
1. Did you (do you) go to public school or private school? Or, were you (are you) homeschooled? (Please do not share the name of your school XD)
I go to a private school, in 10th grade 🙂
2. What was (is) your favorite subject in school?
Literature and History
3. What was your favorite grade in school?
Umm… maybe the Kindergarden grades because we didn’t have much worry or study then.
4. Do you prefer pens or pencils? Why?
Pens to write and pencils to draw 🙂
5. What was (is) your favorite school lunch?
Nothing, really. At our school, the canteen isn’t good at all 😦
6. What is the biggest lesson you have learned in life?
You’d have to be the change you want. If you truly believe in something, even if it’s a lie, a good lie, you can achieve it.
7. What do you wish someone taught you a long time ago?
It’s good to be different.
The Meaning of this Tag: For many people in the United States, August means the beginning of a new school year, or at the very least time to prepare for school to begin in early September. It can be very stressful and chaotic. “Back to School” is all over advertisements, television, the internet, grocery stores, department stores…pretty much everywhere you look. It’s a combination of excitement, anxiety, and stress that our society dreads yet looks forward to every year. In this month’s tag, inspired by the nostalgia of “Back to School” season, Purple Rose and I want to go “Back to the Basics” and reflect on our education and early life. Join us in remembering the sweet smell of freshly opened crayons, the sound of pencils sharpening, and the sight of red ink on the most recently graded assignment…
Tired, I am too tired To walk anymore In this long walk of life. My limbs are sore, My heart is throbbing, An unceasing pain haunts my head. I have fallen again But I don’t want to get up. Fed up I am with everything. Let it be over. Please let everything be over. I am tired. Too tired. I want to quit, I want to end. My smiles have departed already, My peace has gone. My foot is dead. The only thing alive Is my poor little head Crying for sleep. A deep, deep sleep. Maybe it’s too early, Maybe the years are left. But I am tired, too tired, All I want is my last bed.
