Chxrry's Daily Writings

Admittedly, the start to my morning was rather slow and relatively quiet, which was nice. That was, until I was informed that they'll be shutting off the hot water for a few days. They're replacing the hot water tank, so until then I'll have to shower elsewhere on campus, which is...frustrating, to put it kindly. I spent a lot of my morning just making breakfast and doing homework. I read one of the chapters due this week, which was on Classicism. It was a fairly interesting read!

After I did some homework, I took a nap for a good while. I'm not sure why, but I was in a rather sleepy mood earlier today. I do have a relatively bad habit of staying up late, and I think it's beginning to catch up to me. Oh the woes of an insomniac. I'm sure that once the school year starts up again I'll have a better refined sleeping schedule, I honestly love having a day-to-day routine. After my nap, I went grocery shopping and made my roommate and I tacos for dinner. 

It's so funny, I used to hate going to the grocery store with my mom when I was a kid, but now I honestly don't mind it, and it's even a little bit enjoyable! At least, I try to make it fun for myself.

I have work tomorrow, so I'll most likely be doing more homework while at work. There usually isn't much going on, so I can spend my time however I'd like, so long as I don't burn the office down. Tomorrow I'll most likely watch and take notes on the lectures and complete the little quiz the professor assigns each week. Even though it's an intro class and is fairly easy, I'm still enjoying it regardless. In terms of the "arts," I tend to normally take creative writing courses (which makes sense, as that is my concentration for my major), so this course is a nice change of pace.

I mentioned in my previous post that I wanted to post my poetry on here as well, so I decided that the first poem I'm going to share is my poem, "Sweet Smell." My poetry isn't erotic by any means, but I hope people still like it!! ♡

"Sweet Smell"

There is a sweet smell

somewhere in my home,

eluding me but haunting me all the same.

It permeates my nose,

it lingers in my brain,

and the taste is palpable on the tip of my tongue.

The smell is sweet,

sickening, almost.

It lingers on the walls,

always in the halls.

It compels me, the sweet smell,

to pull back the carpet, and destroy the walls.

Is it coming from the insulation?

Will it melt in my mouth, the pink fabric?

Just like cotton candy?

The smell is so sweet

I can't help but wonder,

Am I Hansel?

Am I Gretel?

Or am I the Witch?

Maybe the sweet smell

is the silent echo

of the children I've eaten.

I have poetry that I've written in my free time, but I also have poetry that I've written for previous classes if anyone is interested in those! I once was able to go to a poetry reading and read some of my poems to a group of people, which was very exciting! I hope I get to do it again soon!

I'm going to end this post here with my favorite fun fact: The concept of the zombie can be traced back to Haitian folklore in the Vodu religion! Zora Neale Hurston wrote on the Haitain zombie in her book Tell My Horse.

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day!

I made my account on here a few days ago, and I have to admit, the amount of messages I've recieved in such a short time frame is really surprising. I'm a relatively quiet and shy person (until I get comfortable, then I just won't shut up), so to be noticed very quickly and by many people is a bit overwhelming for me. Though, I guess it's better to overcome my shyness sooner rather than later, right? I certainly hope so.

Let's see...Since this is my first post, I suppose it's best if I introduce myself. My username is ChxrryBxrry (pronounced 'cherryberry'), but you are more than welcome to refer to me as just Cherry. I'm currently finishing up my undergrad with just one semester left. I have a 3.3 GPA as we speak, but I'm hoping to bring it up with this summer class I'm taking. As mentioned, I currently am taking an Intro to the Arts course, which has been relatively fun! I have quite a few electives left to take, so I'm just taking anything that piques my interest at this point. Plus, I haven't had an art class since...Middle school? Either way, it's long overdue.

I haven't had a d/s dynamic in quite a few years (about 3-4 years), but when I was in a dynamic, my dom was a daddy dom, and I was a little sub with brat tendencies. I was in a relationship with my dom, and while it didn't work out between us, I still got a lot of enjoyment and fulfillment out of being a submissive. Admittedly, I do feel as though I've changed over the years, I'm just not sure what kind of submissive I am nowadays. I didn't realize until recently, but I often seeked out praise from professors as a way to get a similar sense of fulfillment like I did a few years ago in the d/s dynamic. I'm not kidding when I say that I had a professor say to me: "You're a star" in an email once, and I didn't let go of that for weeks. I met some lovely mutuals online who have provided a safe, welcoming space for relative newcomers for the d/s lifestyle, and through them I managed to stumble across this website.

So I'm here now. ♡

I did a surprising amount of cleaning today, I can still smell the cleaner on the tips of my fingers. I don't really mind cleaning, especially if there's some good music to get a good groove going. ABBA and Queen were certainly a godsend today while I was cleaning my showers. I often get tunnel vision while working on something, so I hardly take a moment to myself to take a quick breather or drink some water, and I'm paying for that now with a headache. I've got water now, though! I was going to do a bit of homework today for my Art course, but I think I'm going to take the rest of the day to myself (Plus, the homework isn't due until the 28th, so I've got some time ;D). 

I feel as though I've written enough for my first post, but I do creatively write in my free time, often writing poetry more than anything. In my next post I'll upload a poem I've written recently! Currently debating if I want to post "Sweet Smell" or "O Son of God" first. Maybe whichever everyone else is interested in I'll post? I'll see the responses and decide from there!

Maybe I should end this with a fun fact? Fun Fact: The painter Monet, known for his impressionist paintings, went blind due to cataracts, which affected his later works. If you compare his earlier works to his later ones, you can see the difference!

Have a lovely rest of your day everyone! ...I think I'm going to lay down for a while and hope this headache goes away on its own.
