"If you cannot be unafraid, be afraid and happy"

I'm not quite an artist, and I've lived in the same place my whole life, with more pets than family members, and so many books they're nearly a library. It rains a lot. I read a lot. I don't sleep enough. I'd travel, but I'm still in sixthform, so I go hiking a lot. Sometimes it's sunny, but mostly it rains. All my coat pockets are full of sand from summers full of beach days. The rain isn't so bad if you're in the sea. There are shells and feathers everywhere in my house, and sometimes frogs (but that's the cat's fault, not mine). I spend all summer looking forward to winter, and all winter waiting for summer. Sometimes I write, but mostly I just think about writing and never actually do it.
