A Writer's Soul

I had written a poem for school to share about my passion for writing and it has stuck to my heart ever since.

A Writer's Soul
Quote Fancy
"A room without books is like a body without a soul." - Marcus Tullius Cicero

The love one can have for the written word runs deeper than any valley.

Without the flow of words that bring me joy and sorrow, what is there to live for?

Without the feelings of love, joy, sorrow, and fear that can be felt through books

What does one have to look forward to?

From the imagery of a young couple falling in love,

To the death of a dying man,

A writer's soul feasts on the printed word.

Without the printed word, what makes a writer?

What makes me?

Without books, I am nothing more than a shadow.

Without books I cannot feast,

I cannot love,

I cannot fear.

Without books, I am not everlasting.

But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
