in english class today while taking notes, this term "tabula rasa" came up and i knew it so very surely that one corner of substack awaited me with a beautiful piece of literature around this term. however, what i did not know was just how exquisite and mesmerizing this would be. this poem spoke to my soul, and i think i still haven't fully grasped it. god bless you olivia.

Since I proclaim myself to be a writer and I am here now. How is that I am speechless? But I am. I love the clean slate. This is deep, deep and beautiful too. Peace.
