We Are Not

We Are Not Alone

(Sometimes I just like to write random thoughts down in my diary, so here's mine from today. I realise I haven't posted in a while and I wanted to put in some of my writing even though I'm better at fiction. This hasn't been proofread, so if it's bad it's only partially my fault. :D Oh! I also wrote this thinking this was my personal diary and no one would read this, but I'm putting it out there, so that's cool. No, you aren't invading my privacy by reading my diary. This also kind of jumps around and has unfinished thoughts, but I just want to show you my raw drafts.)

I saw Aquaman and Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse today. Aquaman was okay, Spiderman was really good; almost 100% Rotten Tomatoes. So while being good, Spiderman also really struck me. I guess people have hard lives, they go through a lot, and they feel like… I feel like… no one understands what I’m going through. But then what if someone does? What if there’s another me out there where she’s going through the same stuff? What if there’s a cooler, more popular me? What if I’ve already published a novel in another reality? And wouldn’t that mean I have potential in this one? Can’t I do anything I have the potential to do? I mean, I hope so… But that feels hard. And I know I should try, so I will keep trying. But maybe, if someone’s reading this. If someone else in the multiverse is typing (or writing) these words… Then am I alone? Because I don’t think so. And even if the multiverse isn’t a thing, then I’m still not alone. I can’t be the only person vaguely like me. And even if there isn’t anyone, then doesn’t that mean I am cool? Is everyone cool? Are the people I love beside me no matter what? Is it a bad thing if they aren’t? And am I me because of them, or was that the universe? Or was it me? And I love asking questions like these because even if they never give you a straight answer, do you really need one? Isn’t it fine to just learn from questions, learn from the journey you take to answer them, even if you never succeed in your quest? And does life have to have a meaning in the grand scheme of things? Can’t we just live it while it lasts? Can’t we just keep asking questions, no matter the answer? Is that what life is about?

(So yeah, that's it. Hope you liked it, and Merry (belated) Christmas / Happy Holidays!

back to the Inkwell

I realise I never put an end parenthesis, so pretend I did that and maybe signed my name off while I was at it.

Also, I just re-read it, and I probably should've proof-read it, it's kind of bad but I hope you get the idea. Maybe I should put in more of these occasionally. :)

 

Okay, just because I didn't do a fancy sign-off before:

 

WIth love,

Wait, Queenie, is this the story you told me about a few months ago (we know each other irl)? The one about that girl, with the magic? The one I made suggestions to you about? (and yeah, I'm the one who introduced you to the CB. I promise I'm not lying).

Yeah, hi again. Long time no see. How are you doing? (This isn't the story, just an excerpt from my diary.) Also, I've been thinking about starting something new. I mean, I love the characters but the concept is kind of annoying to me and I'm growing out of really magical fantasy. (Though Harry Potter is still amazing.)

Happy New Year,

Queen
