Planetorplastic Stories

We are one of the first generations to know we are killing our planet. We may also be one of the last able to save it. Knowledge is power - what are you willing to do with yours? ~*~ Welcome! Here's a book of short stories inspired by the National Geographic competition #PlanetorPlastic I will be writing multiple entries as inspiration strikes throughout. Each chapter is a new and independent story (and competition entry) that can be read as a stand alone. This will be an ongoing series in honour of my personal milestone of starting my Tropical Marine Biology masters! Guess who is doing (micro)plastics for her dissertation? That's right - me! So this comp ties in beautifully with what I want to help achieve - awareness and knowledge. Following my passions has taken a huge leap of faith for me and a lot of dedication. I hope some of these stories inspire, evoke and induce something in each and every one of you too, the way the reality does for me. A lot of these stories will be metaphors and require reading between the line to decipher the theme or meaning. So please feel free to comment if it's unclear or a bit confusing (I tend to forget my readers aren't taking up residence in my mind and need me to write appropriately in order to deliver what I want, haha, it's a continuous learning curve for me!) Enjoy! #planetorplastic P.S I hope you like the book cover, I painted it myself ;)

It happens whenever, we, the humans get in the war with the Mermaids? Will it make us change the way we view pollution of plastic in both of our oceans? Or will we ruin the ocean even more? Well.. shall we find out? (if enough people read this story I might continue it after the contest)

Here is my second submission for the National Geographic writing contest with the #PlanetOrPlastic as the major theme. * i do not own the pictures. They are belong to National Geographic * I'd love to share my thoughts to all of you. Please read my story and hopefully this going to change your mind and get a new perspective about our crusial problem that we face nowadays, related to plastic, ocean, planet, and living things.

Of Dreams And Demons is going to be a poetry and vent (and randomness place). This is going to be a,ugh I hate using this phrase, "safe space" of some sorts. Anyone can say what they want here and occasionally I will lost some funny content to ease up on everything. Also, listen to this playlist if u want. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKg496kVm8gZZu1iBIq32_pxnc-HgmCog See ya around! ---- **EDIT** Jeez that description sucked. Welp, listen, anyone who reads this there will be triggering topics but also marshmallow fluff. This "book" can and will go from 0-100 in a second and has weird updating times. By that I mean there is no set schedule for updates. I just do it when I wanna or need it. Ok? Ok.

This is my small contribution to NGC's big #Planetorplastic movement! I still remember the day when I swam in the ocean and got swept away...

A short story for #PlanetorPlastic. The ocean for me is intimate nostalgia, and embodied forgiveness. I wanted to write about the threads between generations, and the relationship between a father and daughter experiencing different childhoods in what are effectively different worlds, with the amount of change on the planet today.

This is my submission for National Geographic's Planet or Plastic contest. I hope you all enjoyed reading this, and understand the meaning behind this story. This was written just to inspire others to help our animals.

We have One Chance before we lose everything. One.

Not everything you'll read will make sense to you, don't worry it's not supposed to. I write for relief, I write for satisfying my fantasies. This is a journey, one that has not been completed, one that will not be completed until my last breath. This is my peace, This is life, once I started living it.
