I think that could be best done in a character profile of who I am today:

managed to
write about 2400 words of journaling towards my own writing. none much more of the other work i had to do. but yeah for the triumph on my own writing getting out. thoughts that were swirling around in my head.

I might have to do “evil” and “kamikaze” (problematic?) bc i’m...
current conundrum: procrastinating by reading about how to stop procrastinating?

Creative Nonfiction Prompt
from Poets & Writers
Make a list of the physical objects you carry with you: a wallet and phone, a journal and pen, medications and mementos. Then make a list of the non-objects you carry: memories, ideas, dreams, scars (literal or figurative), the people or places of your past.

These 11-Year-Olds Are Metal As Fuck
jadedpunk:
There is a metal band in Brooklyn called Unlocking The Truth that is made up of three 11-year-olds. They make every band in the nu-metal scene look like total garbage. Not that that was difficult.
These kids have some seriously dope metally riffs and breakdowns. Not sure when they have time to come up with those in between doing homework and…I don’t know, what do 11-year-olds do...
