Writing practice - 01

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to press the 'reset' button on my life.

To start over and do the things I always wish I had done, to say the things I always wish I had said, to become the person I always wish I had become.

Sometimes I think that even trying at this point is a waste of time, like a game that you know you'll eventually lose no matter what you do. But you keep playing anyway, hoping that something miraculous will happen and the death screen proclaiming that you've lost will never appear. Only it always does, sooner or later.

And you can only regret not having chosen the other path, the other party member, the other weapon, the other class, the other card.

I wonder what it would be like to press the 'reset' button on my life.

Inspiration: Nell - 멀어지다 [Drifting Apart]

Intro post

So, I've decided to create another blog specifically for posting my poems/writings. Even if they're not great, each one carries a little bit of my pride with it.

Eventually I'll get around to posting most of my old poems, simply because it'll be nice seeing them all in one place.

I'm also trying to improve my writing so I'll post those little snippets of 'practice' whenever I get hit by inspiration (which, unfortunately, doesn't happen often). I don't really have a reason for improving my writing; it's not like I plan on doing anything with it. But I think that I've been looking for a creative outlet lately except that I can't sing, I can't dance, and my poetic skills are even worse than they used to be. So I figure, hey, why not try my hand at writing again?

I noticed that I tend to be inspired a lot by music, so I'll loop a particular song for the entire time that I'm writing something. I'll probably slip that in at the end of the posts just for the heck of it (if I remember... I don't always record what song was my inspiration).

Enjoy?
