Today I made a cup of tea while the sun was out and intensely hot and sat down drinking it self righteously. My eyes were heavy from all the crying I’d just finished doing, inspired by the book I’d just read. It wasn’t a sad book (mostly) but it was a good book and so I cried when the protagonist was happy and I cried when she was sad. I sat on my bed, pensive, wondering what I’d do with all this feeling, drinking tea only because it’s what I think people do in times like this. Nothing inspires good writing like the emotions reading good writing evokes. And so I hope I do justice to the art I have just consumed with this art(?) that I am producing for your consumption.
I do not like tea.
On my second cup (yes, I had a second) I have an epiphany, I do not know what to write about. And yes, I know this is getting to be the central theme of my writing that isn’t purely fiction and I’m sorry I keep talking about it (not really) but I’m going to anyway. I have an array of topics I could talk about, a couple of incomplete drafts I could work on, but instead, I’m writing this; because I like how I feel with my eyes heavy, tongue numb, clicking away and throughly enjoying saying absolutely nothing or literally everything I can muster in the prettiest way possible. When I get in moods like this I think my writing is pretty. Everything makes sense and my expressions are clear and inspired. I could write about toast and I think you’d enjoy it. In moments like this I feel like maybe there’s a stroke of genius to my work and I don’t have these moments often so I try to revel in them.
This is a large part of why I read books and watch movies and anime and listen to music. Because nothing gets me going like a bout of tears inspired by characters that made me feel something, love or hate or everything/anything in between. When I consume these wonderful works of art I feel like maybe what I create is art too that might inspire someone else to feel the way I do now.
That’s all for today. Maybe tea isn’t so bad.
I love your writing and I'm glad of your new perspective on tea cause I love teaaa
You write like magic
