The Vicious Vernacular

This is my life, and this is the way I write.

This is a way for me to express everything:

Everything I feel

Everything I think

Everything from the most shallow tendency to the most profound insight.

And I promise I will not be humble, I will not apologize, except when I feel so inclined, I will not forgive or forget except when I think I should and above all things I will not submit to the unwritten rule, just the unspoken agreement.

This is the Vicious Vernacular and from here on out I will try to tag every bit of creative writing, whether it be prose, poetry or some strange combination of the two with this lovely alliteration, this titanic and terrifying tower of a tongue twister, twisted and mangled to suit my own needs and with a design beautiful in it's singular nature and singular in its beauty: to, above all things, cause you to disagree, agree, laugh, or maybe just maybe, change your perception.

I am leaving for college in less than six months. I have never been more scared or excited in my entire life and yet it still feels underwhelming, my life whipping past me with such ferocity and speed that I fear I am not aware of some very important things, losing them in the blurry motion of people, places, and thoughtful conversations. If there is one thing that I have an ultimate faith in, it is the strength that comes from the written word and this is something I do not plan on abandoning anytime soon.

Until next time,
Andrew
