Visit him
posted by Gabriela on Monday, October 09, 2006|

Hi people

I don't know if you've noticed but there's a new cool blog over there. This time it's a blog named "The Search of Health in Decadence".

Why did I choose it? I read the last entry and it was a poem, and I just loved it. It tends to happen to me, I read something and just the writing style makes me want to read more. And I definitely love Will's writing style.

So, who's Will? Here's some information from his profile. If you want to find more about him, visit him. =)

Location:Oregon, United States
B.S. in Political Science, M.Ed. in Education, social studies teacher, saxophonist, guitarist, writer, poet, and philosopher.

By the way, remember I always recommend blogs that I like and enjoy reading. =)

XoXo
Gaby

Thanks for the post and for taking me on.

I won't request to be rented on blogs that I don't like, and I chose this one because I could relate to it. When I was your age I was always sad/depressed and otherwise anxious. You wrote:

And I'm more surprised by my fake smile, I don't know how can I smile, and arrive home and transform into someone that nobody knows, almost every day.

And we all have problems, and there's no perfect life. But I want to shout, and I want to scream, but I don't want to be heard. I want everyone to know that I'm sad and that I'm hurting, that I'm not happy and that I'm not quiet. But then I remember that this could bring some consequences, and I just shut up and smile, pretend to be serene and aloof.

Since 7th grade, I started suffering from depression due to alienation. I couldn't find any meaning in life. That lasted through high school and into college. What's weird is that I was the star musician and athlete in my school... but I was still basically a loner. Finding existentialism with the author Albert Camus helped a lot for me, which I can write more about another time.

Writing poetry is something I started to do regularly my sophomore year in high school during my constant bouts with insomnia. I stopped for a while and now I'm pushing myself to continue writing. I thought that by promoting myself and putting myself out there more it would help inspire me to write more. I could use the inspiration.

This is my first renting experience, and I plan on continuing to visit this blog even after this week is up. Thanks again.

Hi!

It's good to know. Sometimes I'm not sure if my renter even likes my blog.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I think many have been trough these things but nobody says anything. Maybe because they just want to forget about it or because they're still there.

You should definitely keep writing poems, especially if you enjoy it and are talented. And I think you are.

I'll keep visiting your blog as well. =)

XoXo
