Imagery Quick Write

http://io9.com/concept-art-writing-prompt-the-house-on-crab-legs-472787365

As I'm walking in this beautiful valley with flowers and baby deer I feel free and everything seems to peaceful and it seems like there is nothing for miles and miles. Until I see this little house right on the edge of a cliff that smells rotten, like my grandma's basement. I creep closer and see all these dangerous cracks and infestations of all types of bugs.

I see the little girl, in her pale pretty red dress staring at me like I'm worthless and disgusting. On the other hand, she smells like morning dew on my roof when I wake up after it poured rain. I wish I could tell her how I feel, how old and depressed I am. Oh how I wish I could walk like her the feeling of being free I would do anything for.

I walk into the molding and dingy house and I feel like someone is here with me, watching me. This rusty bookshelf catches my eye and this one gold book stands out to me. I hesitate for a second as I carefully grab the book from the bookshelf. I open up the pages carefully for they seem fairly fragile, and I start reading the first page.

I can feel this skinny girl inside of me I feel weird but I also feel a sense of belonging and happiness as she opens up one of my owners books. The words are too small to see from up here if only I could make out the tiny black words.

As I read the book I feel the ground crumbling beneath me, I take a step back and it occurs to me at the very moment that there is something under the house. I let out a silent cry as I look out the window and see the cliff turning into a sharp edged cliff. I take a deep breath of the fresh air and take a second to smell the flowers and hop out of the house to see that it now has metal claws. That book must of been magical, I whisper to myself.

Man Crush Monday #mcm / Personal Additions

This is my Man Crush Monday Taylor Caniff. @taylorcaniff. He is one of my role models because he is also happy and positive about everything. Also whenever I need cheering up I just watch one of his you tube videos because we have the same sense of humor.

Working Out / Personal Additions

I'm absolutely in love with working out i don't know if it's because of the feeling I get after I'm done or the results I've gotten so far. My stomach has tightened since I've started working out regularly on my spare and I feel so much better about myself. I think that buying the weight room membership from the school was one of my best purchases I've made in my life to be honest.

Acoustic Guitar / Personal Additions

               In my spare time, I like to play my acoustic guitar which looks exactly like the one in the picture. My parents bought it for me about a year ago and I've been playing it ever since. I started off learning how to play it off of a youtube video. My mom also enjoys helping me learn how to play it because my mom became interested in it too. My favourite song I learned would have to be smoke in the water. I remember getting that certain style of guitar because I used to be have an obsession with Justin Bieber as you can see he has it in this picture.

Quick Write/Narcissists

What do you think? Are Young people narcissists? Are all young people narcissists? Is it not that young people are narcissists but that all people are narcissists? if you agree that young people are narcissists why do you think that is ? Do you think that they will grow out of it eventually? What can we do about it?

I think that some young people and even adults are narcissists because most young people follow each other and also take selfies so they can fit in. Also when people take a picture of themselves and get compliments and likes it boosts their self confidence but mostly too much to the point where it becomes excessive. I don't think that all young people are narcissists because some don't care and don't even care about fitting in or are already happy enough with themselves. I think it's mostly young people that are narcissists because adults don't have enough time and usually don't even know how to work instagram, twitter or the internet in general. I agree that young people are narcissists and I think that is because the media puts us down with all the pictures of models that are photo shopped. I think that young people will grow out of it eventually because they will have a lot more responsibilities soon so they will have no time to take " selfies". I don't think we can do anything about it.

Quick Write/If I was a leaf

You are a leaf and fall has started. Explain how you feel about this.

I feel sad and worthless. I feel like the tree never even needed or wanted me in the first place. I feel insecure about myself because I'm turning brown and ugly colors. I feel like my whole life is crumbling before my very eyes. I fall down onto the grass and the tree looks mad at me and terrifying because it's looking down upon me and it's so tall. The tree to me is a giant and to everything else I feel like nothing. I wonder why I even exist if all I did was fall apart. I keep on reminiscing on my life before this on how I used to be a beautiful shade of green and my beautiful family is all around me. I felt on top of the world because I was up higher then pretty much everything I could see.

    Now I can't even see my family I have no idea where they are. It's like a war just happened everyone is injured, crumbling, and broken. These little tiny legs keep on crawling and walking all over me. I just want this to all end.

Quick Writes/Minions

Quick Right Minions
  If I got a set of minions for a week I would get to do all my chores like do the laundry and dishes, scrub the toilets etc. I would also get them to do my homework for  me because I have a lot and that is very time consuming. I would also get them to straighten my hair because that takes forever in the morning. I would also get them to do my makeup and pick out one of my outfits for me since I'm so indisive. I would also get them to put my tumblr name in tumblr plug because it's really boring to do but it gains you more followers. I would get them to make my room look like a tumblr room like put tumblr pictures up etc. I would also get them to work part time for me so I could have extra money. I would get them to massage my back and my feet and basically my whole body. I would get them to find all the latest music from itunes like the genres that I like and download them on my phone for me. I would also get them to clean the whole house like not only chores but the whole house because then my mom would be happier. I would also get them to help resolve the arguments that my family has everyday.
