This heart of mine is always wandering; I constantly feel like creating, sharing, being inspired… I seek to explore and, no doubt, to be enraptured by the sight of words —oh, reading charms me since what I can’t express myself, I can feel in someone else’s mouth. I choose to embrace, relish and raise awareness of poetry. May poetry always be your mainstay! — Diana Dolea

☕ life diary as a poetic soul

Please, my dear stillness, do not mourn. Think of me! Imagine with all your might that within my spirit you will forever dwell. Guess! I am an aspiring writer, hence I live from silence — you live in me; there is no other verity. I type these words and I even hear the buzzing. By this I mean that when I imagine myself through writing, my inner soul embraces me so fully that no other single noise is noticeable. In truth, I must clarify: in the daytime this reality seems to be much more livable. There are so many outdoor sounds — chirps, whistles, croaks, drumming… — , therefore I cease to notice my own background buzz. [...] Just, I beg you, perform a promise for me, that is, to be my magic charm. Whenever my head is flooded with thoughts, you must come along — you have to reach me and ask me to write! Silence be praised! (Your faithful child, Diana.) — a letter by Diana Dolea
