Halooo people. Long time no talk :) Honestly, I don't have too many excuses about my inactivity except for the fact that I've been very lazy and unmotivated. But it is what it is and I hope this phase goes once my college starts.

I wrote two poems after writing Three Setting Suns. And after I read them over and over, I realized they're pretty shitty. It seemed to me that I wrote them just for the sake of writing something. I'm not sure why I did that though. It's not like anyone demanded a poem from me. I just put an imaginary deadline for myself and then when I crossed it without a finished product, I started panicking.

I know a lot of us keep deadlines for ourselves. But is every deadline really worth it? What's wrong with going with the flow if that makes you happier? Practically speaking, deadlines put the necessary pressure on us to get our work done on time. But if that pressure is excessive, it really backfires, doesn't it?

Obviously, this whole rant doesn't mean I'll stop putting deadlines on myself now lol. It's impossible for me to stop. But maybe from now on, I won't let my deadline be the only force driving me to work. I'll take it easier on myself, and write stuff that I would really like to.

It's easier said than done, but let's keep trying! Trying is the best thing we can ever do :)

I love you all :) <3
