Soft Serves Like Hugs Too

I'm Going Insane

  "When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realise that one cannot eat money."

So I came across this amazing quote in geography and I was like 'yes, let's write a story about rich people and poor people where the poor people are actually richer because they have one plant' and then I procrastinated and procrastinated until I was like 'I'll just leave it. But still, it's an amazing thing to remember and I wanted to share it.

Anyways, the title of this is appropriate because I feel like I'm going insane. I've started my final year of high school (three weeks in to be exact) and I've also started a new subject called Extension 2 English (in which I am the only student...). The Australian school system says English is compulsory and, yes, I do Advanced English but I do extra classes (Extension 1 and Extension 2) because like all people on Wattpad I love to read and write. 

Now, here's my insane part: for Extension 2 English, I have to write a 6000 word creative piece (I chose a story) along with a 1500 word reflection statement about hidden meanings and why I wrote it etc... Now, the word limit is easy because if anything I'll probably go over it. I was going to use the Indian proverb above as inspiration but then it bubbled away until one night I had this super crazy epiphany.

I've chosen to write a short story about inside Alcatraz which involves the prison (obviously) in the days when it was functional and a protagonist with dissociative identity disorder (basically multiple personalities). Solid concept, right? *note the sarcasm* but I'm actually so unsure about everything right now that I just want to sleep and never wake up. For anyone reading this, would you actually think 'hey that sounds interesting? 

While my teacher says it's very unique from what other students across Australia will write, I just don't know if it's too dark or if I'm just being stupid because who wanted to read about that. I don't even know what my point was with putting this up but I guess it is just a way to put what's going on in my head into written words (believe me, my mind is actually much more muddled than this write now).

Thanks to anyone who actually read my insane crisis/rant. 

On a lighter note, I hope everyone has a happy day filled with smiles and laughs :D

Softy out!
