Well, I decided to do this since I feel like I'm abandoning writing, but I'm still here. I'm just . . . almost feeling lost when it comes to writing. Like it's gotten to the point where I have all the ideas but laziness is clouding my mind and work is keeping me going, along with school.

Plus, pep rally at my school was crazy this year! I'm legit covered in my school colors paint and I'm just ._.

Whatever! Let's do this!

.:Tranquility In The Forest:.

The sky was blue, he noted, and the trees had small rays of light that shined through the branches. An assortment of birds crowed and cooed with proficient songs varying from sweet chirps to soft meoldys, all synchronized with each other.

These silly little moments made him pause and take a look at his surroundings and say,

"Life is beautiful," he breathed, steadily letting in a stream of fresh air enter his lungs. Closing his eyes, he let his senses take control of him.

The steady tunes filled his ears and clear, crisp air wifted through his nose. A cold breeze touched his cheeks and the sunlight warmed his skin, a comforting and soothing combo. There was a calming aura around his environment and in the distance, one could faintly hear the crunch of someone walking through the dirt and wood.

He opened his eyes once more. One by one, he brushed his bangs away from his onyx orbs and stared at the sunlight shining through the bright green leaves. Smiling to himself, he crossed his arms behind his head and sighed in content, feeling his arms brush the marsh and touch the cold ground.

His old life mirrored this particular moment, and he didn't want to dwell on the past any longer.

Igneel would scowl if he ever had regretted his choices.
