The Wind is at Your Back

just a lil something I wrote in broadcasting background music credit: Swimming by Flawed Mangoes

I just found this in my notes app

I was half asleep when I wrote this. I’m poetic even in my drowsiness

it was either staring into space or watching the horror movie on the kid’s laptop next to me. i chose to write this.

So I posted ‘Hi Rhymes with Goodbye’ after I left the first school I was at my Freshman year and guess what- I’m at another new school. So this is the poem I wrote saying goodbye to the best of friends that I met at the 2nd high school I was at. And I forgot to post it lol. So here it is- Hopefully third school is the charm hahaha.Anyway these people genuinely saved me. So thank you. I love you.

I wrote this a while ago while listening to Jake + Shelby’s song ‘Oh What a Dream’. I forgot to post it, so here it is now, hope you enjoy :) background music- The Pasture by Elephant Revival

This is the only reason now why I haven’t talked to you, I really need a boy who is as head over heels for me as much as I am for you.[Oh man I hope he never finds this]

is it just me? background song credit: Josh by Jeremiah Fraites

This is a vingette about how I want to do everything at once and I feel so motivated to do everything, that I feel like I just CAN’T. DO. IT. ALL. So this is my reassurance to myself that I can, it just takes practice + time. background music- Where Is My Mind by Maxence Cyrin

I wrote this for my dad for Father’s Day :)

A very VERY early poem about my name. So please…call me Leila :)

I wrote this in English Class when I was in a school that was an hour away from my home :) It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling of home, all seasons and memories rolled into one.

The first vingette I ever wrote. For Linus. Background music: Ode to Vivian- Rework by Patrick Watson

When did this become the norm?

This poem was vignette was originally titled "Puzzle Pieces", and before that "Quilt of all who I've loved", but I settled on this because it fit better. But who knows, I might change it back. I wrote this in Spanish class a little while ago and forgot about it. I hope you enjoy :)

I recently transferred schools and it has been extremely difficult. I don't exactly have any friends in my grade and to these kids I'm a complete outsider. I wrote this vignette about treasuring the good moments, no matter how small they are.

A little something I wrote while doing Algebra. I’m never not thinking of my sattle shoed girls

Dear Paulina is a vignette about one of my best friends in the whole world. She has the best laugh and smile, plays ukelele and guitar, is extremely smart, she's a wallflower through and through, and is one of the kindest and funniest people I know. Background music: Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel, Kanon Orchestre de Chambre, and Jean-Francois Paillard (She loved this song as a kid at weddings, she thought it was so beautiful)

This vignette was something I wrote for closure when I switched schools this year. It has something that has to do with each of my friends. They're all pretty self explanatory except for - All American B (all american bitch - Olivia Rodrigo) - Conaaan Graaa (Inside joke, it's just Conan Gray) - Iñaqui (Iñaqui Godoy). - Fox is the cafeteria

This short story is a tribute to my Great Grandma, Esther James. She passed away November 27, 2023. Also, to clear up some confusion, the part where it says, "Hello Emily", She had dementia and would accidentally call me Emily, which is my cousin's name.

"My Collection of Lessons" is about how when I start over, the thing I remember most about the past friendships, relationships, etc. is the lessons, and how they will forever be engrained in my brain.
