Prefix. by Rhetta, literature

Prefix.

So, tonight I did a little bit of digging, both emotionally and intellectually, about my own perspective of self. I realised just how... important prefixes are to my identity. I was laying in bed about ten minutes ago, and as these thoughts kept buzzing around in my head I decided that I was not going to get any sleep tonight until I sat down and did some serious writing. There are three key terms that define myself, in one way or another, although amusingly between them there are only two prefixes. 'Bi' comes up twice, although it turns out, not in the way that I had been considering myself, and 'Pan' comes up once. For the sake of the b

Sounds of work

Tails wag as sharp eyes track movement follow hands, paws and tails waiting, and not for their turn to go through the swinging doors and emerge fluffier and cleaner from the room of noise. The room of running water of fans and air driers of soggy humans and wet noses. Phones ring and polite voices reply and perhaps a waiting friend dry and tidy with a ribbon in their hair becomes joyful at the sound of the caller's voice. Minutes later a door swings open and a buzzer announces that a parent has entered into the realm of snuffley noses and damp humans. A flood of compliments ensue as a furry friend jumps begging to be returned to their b

The Destroyer by Rhetta, literature

The Destroyer

I stare through the rain at the impossible car. I as watch feet, encased in impossible boots, reveal themselves. I'm just waiting for the bus, but you, you are proving how impossible you really are. You dumped me, not the other way around, and yet there you are, getting out of what was our car. The pale blue car we just had to have. You're even wearing the leather boots I bought for you, for our second anniversary. There you are, across the street. Here I am, damp and alone, and I refuse to acknowledge you, or at least in any way that matters. I don't envy you the shoes or the car, but you cannot open that door. It's sacred. If those boots c

No Refrain by Rhetta, literature

No Refrain

The sound of wheels turning fill my ears the sound of thread being spun the quiet shush of sand draining and yet my sound is silence. Photos rain down around me unknown faces, and strange places but stillness is all I find the days pass around me, unchanging. I find myself looking over my own shoulder remembering who and what was when and where was this thing I lost, these people. It seems as though, somehow, the world moves on seamlessly leaving me behind without bothering to knock at my door. The day has been and gone when I had a moment to speak to an old friend, and tell of how much I miss, and still love them but the

Rational Deductions by Rhetta, literature

Literature

Rational Deductions

Essentially, I enjoy rationality. I don't see the need to go, 'this is what I think, so listen,' or 'you opinion sucks, shut up,' because everyone's arguments are in some way valid. They are based on what they believe, and that belief structure is based on how they were raised, their life experiences and a myriad of other things, that can often be minutiae to others if not purely because it didn't happen to them, or if it did their perspective on it is different. It's an inescapable fact I am a believer. I can't rule something out,without a logical argument that provides complete facts to deny or confirm it. God, that cares what every sing

Cold Mornings -read comments.-

The hinges that hold my sky together threaten to buckle and fold more with every day that passes. The pressure builds and coalesces rushing through my veins and thrusting into my tarnished, broken mind. The agony that hides within hides behind shy eyes wanting, wishing, begging for a place to rest. --- This is that cut from shaving that nicks the artery carotid or femoral, it makes little difference. It hurts and nothing you do can possibly staunch the flow it just keeps pumping past the curled, unforgiving fingers. Their trying to help and hold back the tide but nothing will do try as hard as you can. The pain cuts stra

The Time of Lies

In the cold and sad days the lonely days that give pause, a cause for thought I remember what was in a time called Lies The flowers grew and bloomed along with stupid thoughts that this would be fine, that everything would continue as it always had. In this time I believed, that this was me and you how misconceived was I because I realised that this was you and her. Not me, not I but a silly, presumptuous personality growing on my insides, breaking out like a rash, willing to take control of what I was supposed to be. As quickly as she grew I saw that what I was was never real, that she was an amalgamation, of everyone

Portrait of a Narcissistic Man by Rhetta, literature

Literature

Portrait of a Narcissistic Man

Your bloated self-appreciation coats the words you utter, releasing the bile with every word, you chase them away, with your depreciation. The fear that cowers, within your soul only serves to fuel you. As the narcissistic drivel spews from your mouth the cracks begin to show. Your cover is blown the facades you display, have slowly cracked and faded, becoming nothing more than the portrait of your desires. The walls you built have been destroyed, utterly demolished in the face of your truth, the life you claimed for yourself, has been acknowledged; as your complete deceit.

Attention all artisans: stop undercharging! by GrandmaThunderpants, journal

Attention all artisans: stop undercharging!

Apr 26, 2012

As a member of the Artisan Craft community here at DeviantART, I looove to browse around the AC galleries and see what other deviants are up to, what things are trending, and look for up and coming artists to feature in the future. But sadly there's one trend I've been noticing that is very, very bad. Undercharging your work! Let's start off with the most important thing. Now I know some cheap buyers love these low prices, but let's be honest cheap buyers-- you're not long term supporters. People who want your work for super cheap are people who will haggle or snag a deal and run. There is nothing wrong with having sales, getting rid of old

Oh hi there...

0 min read

So, a lot has been happening for me of late. I'm currently staying with some friends in Hobart, and it's been very stressful. I'm at the stage where I want to stay and be here for people but at the same time I want to go home, curl up in a ball and cry until I'm out of tears. I can only get online when I can borrow someone's computer, so sadly no updates for you guys for a while. (Cause I've been doing soooo many anyway.) Hope that you and yours are all in a happy place.
