My Journaling For A Cause class has officially begun!
The cover:
"Journal Prompt One: Since today is the first day of the class, I wanted to start our journals with a "Welcome" page. I want you to include a little blurb with five adjectives explaining your life right now as well. So, it will go something like this:
Welcome to my ____,____,_____,_____, ____ life.
This will be a nice little intro for our journal :)"
- I haven't smoked for 195 days, 23 hours, and 25 minutes & have saved $701.50 by not smoking 3,919 cigarettes.
- I've lost 48 lbs.
- I have a really bad sunburn and I think maybe it's making my brain sick.
- I went through some of my poetry from 1995 today and, I'm not gonna lie, I got completely freaked out. It was like that girl had been to the future and even though she didn't remember going she could write about it really well. *sigh* Did I mention my brain hurts from my sunburn?
- If I ever have a time machine of my very own, I'm gonna go tell her to pray and also to write about happy things.
Here's a (very non-futuristic) example of the dark, 1995 poetical me, exactly as it was written:
"Ungodly Torture"
Fire against fire,
Words blister my skin.
One of us must lose.
We both cannot win.
We fight into darkness,
Into an evil sun.
Flames of sin burn me.
We cannot become one.
Black smoke hides us.
He speaks his command.
There will be no loser.
Two evils join hands.
Ungodly torture fuses,
Making my stomach turn.
In Hell we are dancing.
In Hell we will burn.
Evil takes over.
Deceit becomes friend.
Lies and distrust,
We'll dance to our end.
My soul hurts for,
My true self again.
Hating my shadow,
I run from my sin.
He has held my heart forever,
And another blood filled day.
But this night stops eternity.
Evil runs astray.
With sin on my hands,
I lay down in the night.
I let the flames of Hell take me.
And lose this glowing fight.
Now do you understand why I was so freaked out? Well, I only have one thing left to say after this weird, sunburned brain day. I am not going to Hell. The End.
