DTP Part 89

Memories
Written on: January 5, 2005 (age eighteen)

My memories of my life in my childhood home
Are both beautiful and amusing
I remember birthday parties
Late night swims and thunderstorms
Sitting up late and talking
Movies that last all day
Dinners shared together
But memories are both good and bad
Arguments that make you cry
Disappointment in your eyes
Fights with siblings
I grew up in one home
With a family of many
Whether they are of blood or not
They have all helped form my memories
My friends and family have seen me through
All the hard times
they have supported
All my choices
And they have held and comforted me
Through all my pains
So now as I have grown up
Become an adult
I begin to remember all my childhood memories
I treasure them as I set them aside
All where they will always be remembered
But put away to make room for new ones
As a new page has turned in my life
I know where I'm heading in life
And I'm happy to be going there too
My memories will be mine forever
And they will keep growing and building
As the rest of my life goes by

DTP Part 47

Memories
Written on: March 11, 2003 (age sixteen)

Distant memories
Of long, long ago
Of the dark souls
Who walked the streets at night
The ones who hid during the day
And craved the taste of a crimson liquid

History clouds my mind
With pictures of the past
Unsure why they're there
Or what to do with them
What does it mean
To know these things

Pictures of a life
One I never experienced
Never lived through
Never seen things she's seen
Never loved what she loved
Never craved what she needed

She was a creature of the night
Who spent her undead life
Living to the blood lust
She learned to hide
She learned how to trust
Only those like her

She was a Transel
A pure blood
A vampire not by choice
But by a hated destiny
One she couldn't
Rid herself of

When I was younger I used to role play online for characters for a novel I was writing back then. I recommend role playing for anyone who needs help with character development, because when you role play and you get into it, it can make you get very interesting details out of your characters, especially details you wouldn't normally get
