Despite my brown skin, I come from a place where my life's experience tends to create a greater pull of the writing around me. I was discussing Close Reading with my classmates and professor; a writing tactic that helps readers understand and communicate their idea.
IBn my line of work, I made some questionable decisions in the past that are now floating back up to bite me in the ass.ecause of actions I’ve committed in the past, I am under a professional administrative investigation, and I’m struggling.
In some moments, I feel soft and tender and opened, as if my innocence has returned, as if I have not yet lived. Life feels intense, fresh; I imagine, like a juicy pomegranate, full of tender fertile seeds bursting with sweetness and new experiences.
