Many Parts, Many Lives
i seemed okay,
docked in life’s bay.
but then,
i felt adventurous—
and travelled the seven seas
to live life as i would,
to do as i please.
many lives,
many goals,
many hearts,
many parts…
how many souls?
James Garratt – Monday 28th December 1992

This is such a great idea! I have all my juvenilia in a box – mostly never read.

I have 28 years worth of writing – i really wanted to start archiving it and maybe revisiting some of it – so that is the basis of this site. Going back to pieces i wrote when i was 17 is hard, really hard, it’s embarrassing and slightly awkward lol. But i have swallowed my brave pills and typed them up. i reasons that they are me and part of my writing and life. 1992 is me really learning my writing, exploring writing and exploring myself. they feel young and immature but i was 17 and i guess that is how we are. I also feel fortunate to have them – you should go back through your box and re read them 🙂
