So my project was about processing old feelings. With the current state of everything, I've spent a lot of time alone and thinking. I started writing a lot, a majority of it quick scribbles and incomplete sentences, mostly to help get things off my mind and on paper so I can stop thinking about it. Although at night is when I can't stop thinking. I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping, so I sat up in bed one night around 3 am and decided to just write. I wrote down everything I was thinking about and ended up with 5 poems/short stories. I'm not a poet or a writer, but these are some of my experiences and memories I wanted to live but not in my mind. My final piece is all the writings, with each one embodying a little bit of my feelings and thoughts from these memories. This piece was my way to finally let go, accept, and start moving forward, instead of constantly recounting and reliving the past.
