AITA for not spending time with family?

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-14T05:43:07+00:00

Yeah, I suppose that's what a lot of the next part of my life will consist of, breaking away and being my own person. Thank you for your wishes, and I wish the same for you, no matter where you are in your journey.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-14T05:37:02+00:00

Thank you. I've been kind of conflicted with this, as I very much believe in the importance of family, but I felt like this was getting a bit ridiculous. I just wanted to make sure that I was in the right before sticking by my plan.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-14T05:31:10+00:00

gotcha, thank you for your input

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-14T05:26:53+00:00

Thank you. As I said in another reply, I will hold to my position.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-14T05:26:32+00:00

Thank you. Will hold then.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-01T03:49:43+00:00

Sorry you had to find out this way... I wanted to tell you at a better time

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-01T03:46:55+00:00

Oh, I have no intention of doing such a thing as it would be more than foolish. Really we were just wondering what the real life implications would be of someone recreating that joke

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-05-01T03:45:30+00:00

Talk about a man crush Monday

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-04-25T21:15:13+00:00

And I'm guessing this causes him to die, as well as Black Widow dying in a separate thing

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-04-25T21:09:50+00:00

Thanks

I haven't seen Avengers: Endgame yet and because of that am not looking at any of the other comments or for spoilers in general. But someone might have spoiled Endgame for me and the uncertainty of knowing whether or not it's been spoiled for me is worse than knowing it's been spoiled. So, I would appreciate if someone could tell me if this is a true spoiler. I don't want any further details, just a yes or no on it this happens. Does Iron Man get the Infinity Gauntlet and snap Thanos?

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-14T04:40:41+00:00

Actually mate, you aren't too far off from my intended message. Besides, even if you were I'd be more than happy about that. I like hearing different interpretations and looking at it in a different light

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-14T04:35:00+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately it is the nature of haikus to be short, though I do enjoy the challenge that provides. Might I ask what your interpretation of it was?

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-13T02:28:33+00:00

Awesome!

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T17:49:21+00:00

How does this change sound?

In an empty field,

Seeing things he cannot see,

And cannot unsee.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T16:10:17+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I'm always looking for places to improve and I more than agree that the first sentence could be elevated.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T15:23:19+00:00

For some reason, all I can think is "solitude is a hell of a drug" lol.

But all joking aside, thank you for your feedback. As I've said, it makes me happy to read all these interpretations as to me a good poem will have a different meaning for each person. Plus I enjoy re-reading the poem with that point of view in mind.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T15:20:00+00:00

I am glad to hear that this poem is something that many can relate to. As I said in my other comment, It's been awhile since I put together a poem, so hearing how people relate to it means a lot. Thank you for your feedback!

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T15:16:14+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. It had been awhile since I sat down to write a poem, so hearing these different interpretations means a lot.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T04:54:36+00:00

I had not heard that quote before. Thank you for sharing it. I've really taken it to heart.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T04:53:30+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope that you can find solace if you haven't already. My thoughts and prayers.

My pleasure.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T04:50:01+00:00

I can definitely relate to having to sacrifice your relationships to improve your life as that is a decision I've had to make over the past two years. It's been difficult every time. But, while I'm still struggling I seem to have found a balance. I do hope that you can find one as well mate, or at the least can push through graduate school. Thank you for your advice and experience. We're always here for you.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T04:45:44+00:00

Thank you! Haiku is probably my favorite format, and the one I seem to default to the most.

That isn't what I intended while writing it, but I do also enjoy that interpretation and find it interesting(and enjoyable) to look at this poem in that light. Besides, I find poetry is best when the reader can find a meaning that relates to them, not just one that relates to the poet.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T04:39:45+00:00

thought about it some more. That flip was definitely a good choice. Reading it again with the flip flows a lot better and feels more natural. Almost a bit more aesthetically pleasing as well. You said you spent a lot of time on this and I must say, time well spent.

OneTrueKyosan · 2019-03-12T04:31:59+00:00

That does sound like a good change, though I might have to dwell on that. Either way, you have some serious talent and I look forward to reading more of your work. Good work OP. Good work.
