I don’t share a lot of personal things, but one important thing that has defined me is being an outsider. Recently, I’ve been more aware of how others perceive me and how assumptions come into play when people of different backgrounds meet.

@NicholasCrivac I’ve actually moved my working draft to google docs and I’ve shared it with a close friend. I figured it will keep me accountable, knowing someone is out there judging me if I haven’t worked in a week.

I’ve been thinking about what direction to take my self expression online and I’ve decided to focus on posting tiny poems and other writing on Instagram (alexriverswriting). Feel free to follow me there, but no pressure, I’ll be posting my work here as well 😊

I’ve discovered Hamilton and that soundtrack is the only thing getting me through this pandemic 🔥

There’s always something to #overcome.
Pressure, stress, grief,
It’s easy to become undone.

I’ll ignore the festering wound,
Close my eyes.
I’d rather lose a limb,
Than give therapy a try.

Don’t take my advice,
I’m full of shit,
Choosing to go down in my sinking ship.

@ImKaitlynMeyers Birmingham, UK, it’s 12:35 and I’m meeting a friend for lunch

Anyone have any recomendations for poetry books? I like poems that are short and meaningful. So far all the poems I’ve found are too straightforward, too focused on love or wildly abstract.

@ghostleecreator @AnthonyNerada 😂😂 that’s so relatable. I’d suggest just starting a story, without worrying about the medium or anything else. I think the more you worry about things in the future, the more overwhelmed you’ll get which will make it harder to start

[Alex Rivers 💜 @ARiversWriting]

@Tom44926730 Ah, that’s lovely! I’m a city person, so I can’t really relate 😂 I’m mostly reading right now, too much is going on in my personal life to think about characters

[Alex Rivers 💜 @ARiversWriting]

New country, new city,
New language, #adapt.
Change your taste buds,
Learn new customs.

New school, new classes,
New friends, adapt.
Inside jokes that won’t work anymore,
Forget they existed at all.

Landed here alone,
None of my identities followed me.
Adapt, who am I?

My life’s been so stressful and hectic recently, but I think I’ve managed to get a single night of peace before everything starts again.
I think I need some escapism today, not really in the mood to create new characters.

@turtlerocketbks It’s a lot 😂 But I think I’ve thrown on enough bandaids on the situation to have a nice, relaxed week before I have to start panicking again

[Alex Rivers 💜 @ARiversWriting]

I love how the second I manage to stop freaking out about a major crisis, a brand new, more distressing crisis pops up!
This time with potentially huge moral implications for my future and sense of self!
Love that for myself
