Hi! It’s Me Myself and I, and I’m back from a LONG long break from Bored Panda. My impact on this site hasn’t been big at all, but I’ve missed this community as I’ve been gone and working on school and my mental health. Please take this post as a sort of internet rest stop: you can vent, start conversations, tell me about anything new (I’ve gotten really into set and props for theatre for example!) that’s happened to you recently, and post original prose and poetry! I’ll be here for your struggles and celebrate your successes, and talk to you about anything between the two. This is a safe space and I would like it to continue to be so by setting some rules for those who may have forgotten: Please don’t troll, spam, or post bigoted comments.I’ll start by adding a paragraph taken from one of my newer stories, Sunflower (please don’t plagiarize or modify this and claim this work as your own in any way, I worked very hard on it. thank you!):“…A little more than a week ago, the sunflower had grown taller, on a diet of fertilizer and eggshells. Its head leaned by the window in the morning, resting its eyes before the sun rose. She had stuck a metal garden stake in the store-bought soil and taped it to the stem. “Isn’t it more beautiful now?” she had asked me, scooping its head off of the sill. But the sunflower twisted on the stake, breaking its neck to strain at the window…”Have a lovely day!

everyone has different amounts of work that's good for them, and that can vary by the month, week, day or even hour! sending hugs and hope work gets easier for you soon <3

Omg hiii! So cool that you've gotten into props and sets for theatre. I've been pretty good lately, though it's been a busy year. I've been writing a bit of poetry lately, so here is an excerpt from one I wrote a few weeks ago:
You tell me of a game
Kiss someone on exchange, and
You get a flag of their country
“Would you like my flag?”
You ask, your voice serious
The air suddenly still
I nod.
And wordlessly, you shrink the distance between us
I stand on my toes to reach you
Cold air and warm lips
Lungs aching behind the beating of hearts
Melting kisses, confessions
I am snow and you are fire
Your hands turning me to water
As you pull on the zipper of my coat,
Your eyes reaching into mine
An image I’ll always see
On the dark space behind my eyelids
Maybe I’ll write a song about flags
But first I’ll start with a poem.
Let me know what you think! :D

WOW thats amazing writing! I absolutely could see it as spoken word poetry as well.

Thanks so much, that makes me really happy to hear! 🥰 Especially since I've never posted poetry before, as I'm always nervous because poetry is quite personal lol

Hi!!
I don’t know what to say here. My brain isn’t braining. Here’s some random things, because I like saying random things?:
- I doubt the question mark and colon placing was grammatically correct, sorry
- the time that I wrote this is/was 08:34 (AM)
- I am going to go to a church later, and even though I’ve been going to the kids thing (it’s not called youth, that’s another thing not on Sundays) for ages, probably over 6 months, I still haven’t found any friends and normally just sit alone doing something. The last two times I brought my notebook with me, so at least I can draw and write. It’s not petty or anything, but I can put some stuff about an OC here! (I’m just copying what’s written in my notebook and that stuff is messy as I only write it so that I can understand it)
• has eaten a whole doorknob before
•couldn’t be labelled as “unhinged”, as the door is nowhere to be found
•is ambidextrous
•despises aubergine with his heart and soul
•has face blindness and rarely remembers people’s names (he just avoids using names in general)
•was mainly nonverbal until the age of 6 (his “first” word was heterochromia (when asked what was wrong with his eyes by a bully)
•runs around because he hates confinement (note: what?)
•never, ever remembers dreams
•having a body is weird
•disconnects ears when uninterested or when an annoying song plays
•can talk fast enough to rap (but doesn’t)
•so hyper that caffeine makes him seem normal (idk how that works)
•loves trivia
•literally the embodiment of the song “KEEP UP” by Odetari
•makes bowling balls bounce (he’s just SpEcIaL)
•has severe trust issues, but it sort of fits his “free spirit” vibe or whatever his vibe is
•lives in a treehouse (they live in a forest so it’s not that odd)
•is a mage *and* a carpenter(?)
I start every OC page thing with a quote by them, so here’s his “I promise I will eat your shoelaces :)”
Yeah idk what’s up with him (actually I do, but you get the idea)
So that’s it for now! I hope it wasn’t too long. Have a nice day/night
(Time now: 08:49)

I made a spelling error and I can’t understand what i tried to write, so if there’s a sentence that’s very confusing you should probably ignore it
