recently i've had a misanthropic spiral and i can't help but see everything in a bitter light. it's really quite jarring for me because i'm usually far more optimistic, but right now, to be completely honest, all i can do is hate.

i'm not so sure why i'm so angry at every little thing because my work and life has actually gotten easier for the time being. 
          	  
          	  i was thinking of leaving writing and this site as well, but we'll see.

i distinctly remember how i used to brush my hair obsessively to try and ignore my hunger. oh the world of being in an all girls school. dandruff and i were like friends with benefits. of all things, it was some kid saying it looked like i'd swam in desiccated coconut that made me stop doing that. i will never quite get over the delivery of that. regardless, despite not sneezing, that comment was a blessing.

i always talk about things as if everything's nuanced and the irony in that is that that isn't a very nuanced view. how terribly unfortunate.

i love this place because at times it feels like a weirdly crowded elevator where everyone's talking about interesting things

am i losing my edge or have i just become content?

i can't remember when it turned from post-its needing to be perfectly aligned against page to a failure and a rejection just being average in my day and yet i am not unhappy with who i am despite who i thought i'd be, because in the end i feel as though i am working to who i want to be in a different way than i'd envisioned, and maybe it's okay that everything isn't done to a t because whoever said that you need to 100% everything forgot that you're supposed to do that for the things that truly matter to you to avoid burn out, to avoid hating a part of you that never had their heart in it, and i learned that for me, a grade in red did not matter. other than that, my lack of proper grammar and sentence structure does matter to me, and this wall of text will be heavily scrutinised later for either mickery, batcrap fuel, colossal cringe or will simply be scrolled away as another ramble of mine that happened to be documented and posted onto the internet forever and ever. no worries at all. 
            
            good night, and in case i don't see you, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.

Thanks for reading and voting on pro patria Mori. Just to answer a couple of your queries. Yes, the naming of the book and chapters is inspired by Owen’s war poetry and the major events that defined the course of the war. 
          
          And for the other, it is more of a general gist of things book, not really focusing on specific people but the war and the elements that made it so bleak. The style of short poetry used also may have had a hand in how I wrote it. 
          
          Anyway, glad you liked it :)

@eternal_solace no worries. Always appreciative of the feedback. Will do :)

@CLmauve tysm! i think it's impressive that your ideas and style of prose is all your own. (obviously you don't have to answer this, sorry for being so questioning lol, but what got you into writing poetry specifically?) and yeah i noticed the forms in book descriptions after sending the message haha, i fumbled a little. keep writing!

@eternal_solace no worries. not really much of a poetry reader or a fiction reader in general. all organic ideas, but I prefer forms of poetry with short formats. pro patria mori was based on the kimo form. I say which style I use for each of my books on each of their pages. hope this clears things up :)
