I was in Kinder when I finished reading a book. I was 5 years old when I had my first award in writing, an essay I wrote about cleaning the house when I was in Grade 1. I never got to keep a copy of that essay nor was I able to store the certificate that came with winning through it. Five years after that in 2013, however, I started taking writing more passionately and writing poems and essays as it gave me comfort in this silly little thing called graduating (in elementary, I don't know why I got even more stressed with that; perhaps, it was the thought of being alone in high school. . .which I did for most of it). "Tinta I" is a reissue of "t u l a," a collection of poems I wrote, but I intended to republish it online with more forms of what I write. Because, honestly, I write better prose than poetry lol.
But alas, I am not yet an expert when it comes to writing creatively. Feel free to read this!
