I.aM.mE Presents: "IM ILL" By: Phillip (PacMan) Chbeeb

College Nights

In the future, I think I will look back on tonight as one of those nights that helped define who I am.  Or actually who I hope to be, as I am definitely not there yet.  I was in the presence of an incredible writer tonight and had the privilege to hear some of her writing so I'm feeling rather superficial in my writing right now.  I have never though of myself as a writer, but tonight I was inspired. I wanted to be one. Sitting on the floor of the bedroom of a post college student too poor to heat the entire apartment, I felt full.  To be able to express feeling and emotion with so much imagery and depth; its such a talent that I long to posses.  I don't know if she'll ever read this, but that writer changed my life, even if it was just for a few hours on a Friday night.
