  • Why I write (please read) by Moonlit-Reveries
    When I was a bit more active in poetry, I was planning to put together a compilation of healing poetry to share with the world eventually. Since then I have taken a long break from poetry and pursued other things and experienced life a bit more. I've been thinking of writing some more because I have lived some important life experiences and reading this is inspiring me to record them.
  • Leaving/taking a break and my future plans by Moonlit-Reveries
    I don't know where else to make this announcement so I figured here's as good as any.
  • Saved by sensitivity by Moonlit-Reveries
    Sensitivity is often devalued. Most sensitive people are told that they need to change or toughen up. My mom told me my face looked ugly whenever I cried and took a few other actions in attempt to snuff out my sensitivity. In this society, sensitivity is often seen as a bad thing and I myself thought that way about my own sensitivity. That was until exactly one year ago; when my sensitivity helped save a friend’s life by stopping a suicide attempt. This is the one year anniversary of that whole incident and a smile fills me whenever I see this friend today. And I remember that sensitivity can also be a gift and there’s no need to be ashamed of who I am. My sensitivity is indeed valuable. Suicide is still a very sensitive topic for me and the place where all of this happened is still haunted even a year later. I can just walk in those places and the memories start rolling. I’m just so glad she’s safe and doing so much better now.
    I want to write some poems in honor of this one-year anniversary. I hope I’ll have time to do so.
    In honor of this one year anniversary, I’m posting that old journal entry here (written the day after) and leaving my friends’ names anonymous to protect their privacy. I hope it opens some hearts and perhaps inspires some beautiful soulful poetry.
