Accompany

I’m not alone and must proceed – connecting Side by side… forever changed – commensing. Without demands, go the way of joyous expecting. Fully engaged, a time for generous promising. Without forethought, being pleasantly respecting. The way opens, heartfelt in love rising Bonded through service, woke, and attentive… affecting. Talk the talk, walk the walk… embracing.

House Fires by Connor Franta: Forethought

I am finally going to read Connor Franta's House Fires after purchasing it three years ago. His last two books were stunning to read both in their literature and photography. I was in a big Youtuber phase in high school, so books published by my favourite content creators were a big hit to me.

After some years of struggling to read books, I have become a member on the website Goodreads as a way to motivate me to be actively involved with the books I want to pursue. Of course, on Goodreads, a person can write and read reviews on the books they want to, or have read. Because of this, I am a bit timid about reading House Fires after skimming through the comments left by other readers. There is a common disappointment that the writing is, for lack of better words, peepeepoopoo, while the photography is stunning (as per expected from Connor). Many readers comment about how the book is written like that of an angsty teenager's diary which makes me reflect on where I was in life when I read his last two books. It's like re-watching a show you used to love and then realizing that it actually sucks since you've grown up.

After just completing The Critique Handbook: A Sourcebook and Survival Guide by Kendall Buster and Paula Crawford, I want to go into this book thinking of a visual artist's approach to writing, especially Freewriting. Like the reviews on Goodreads explain, Connor's visuals are amazing while the writing disappoints them, but are they only looking from a writers perspective while Connor looks from an artist's point of view? Should we limit his book to just one of those perspectives? Can we see that he is consciously making this decision for a written work? Is it wrong? Will it work? Does it really matter? Now of course this is just a forethought, so I cannot expect the worst heading into the book, but maybe my brain-ears will be better perked while reading through it.

The Serene Smile

'The serene smile'

Where it goes

Must be a brainless question

Or put together

With all manipulation

It's a long mile

In the middle of empty road

All the movements

Still blur;

Forethought

Or an impulse

Feels like I'm stuck

Increased pulse

Now that you're around;

It's all still

Still like the air

in summer,

Still like the tree

Air free,

Still like the bridge

'till tremor,

Still like the weather

Before storm;

Absurd we miss the season

Everytime it passed

Loving present seems easy

But hard

Like those season

You're as you are

May be you'll find a reason

Or not

But in coming times

I know

I'll be longing for old days

In similar ways

You're, My dear

Like the cool wind

Shook all the branches

Let the old leaves fall

Wipe the floor

And put together

Lit the match to it

Let it burn

Soon it's ash

Gray and few

Let the wind blew

And bring new

Some true

'cause

My serenity comes with you

Forethought Makes Breakfast a Breeze

[s0fter-sin]

everyone makes fun of soap when they find out how many hair and skin products he keeps on hand. the cabinet in his bathroom is filled to bursting and he always keeps travel sized bottles on him on missions

when soldiers outside the 141 find out, they call him precious and self-obsessed, a vain pretty boy too preoccupied with his reflection to focus on the enemy. no wonder how he got his callsign. price has given up telling him to leave them on base and just teaches him to individually wrap them so they don’t rattle against each other and give himself away

what they don’t know is that each product contains an ingredient that when mixed with any number of the others, creates potent chemical bombs. he was caught unarmed once, he won’t let it happen again
