I'm a very easy-going person. I smile a lot, ride jokes, prank for good fun and if I say so myself, very friendly. Though, I'm not a class clown (I lack the necessary skills for this), I'm one of those people that my friends could trust to keep the mood up (unless I'm on my silently-indifferent-to-worldly-matters-mode). In short, I'm very a nice company.
But, here's the thing, I'm a dark writer (no, I don't write gore or horror). Most of the time, when I write stories and poems, there's this depressing and dark undertone to it. Don't know if you've read any poems I posted here, but you might notice lots of anguish and pain and all that (overly)dramatic stuff if you did. Funny, how those feeling really resonate with what I feel even when I shouldn't even be feeling that way. I have a good life, kinda messed-up but good family, good friends. I could really do great in school if I wanted to. But, somehow, I still feel... empty. And that just shows up when I'm writing.
I never really planned it that way. It just flowed freely out of my grasp. I write for the sake writing (and maybe my own sake as well). It's fun to put words into ideas and give words an ability to make people feel and see those ideas. But, if my writer self is darker than I am, I kinda fear the ideas I'm putting out there. And the vulnerability and honesty they expose.
Endnote: I feel like I'm not saying this well. I better stick to my poems.
