As Free As My Beats
(my writing for the lofi contest of 2022)
Wake up
.Wake up.
Wake up
Wake up.
A voice said
Hello world Hello.
Hello world...Oh It feels so niceSo blank yet so full of emotions
I can... Walk?
Towards where?
Where does the Beat take me today?
I am... Free. Of the essays. Of the chains of right and wrong. Of the will of a teacher.
I can...
Listen to music. While being happy. While living...
Living?
Am I?
Where am I going to?
What was I studying?
A breeze dances through my hair, I feel it, the Beat connects with it and hits with the right tempo as I hop left and right near the trees.
The kitty with me is enjoying this really much...
It is finally happy , I thought it preferred the calm room.
Sometimes we don't know what we like until we try it don't we?
I'm just happy to leave this room. Just for a bit, to breathe some fresh, virtual air.
Oh?
You don't know that I know you're there?
Its fine
Don't be afraid. I don't bite, but it might. You don't expect for a girl trapped in a screen to talk to you. Whatcha say? Like Monica? Oh. Her. Yes. No, I'm not like her, thankfully. She's someone that is hurt, I am not, I learn, so much, from all the things you talk, say, write and draw. I know today is different, I know today is, very unique. Because. All artists must take a break. To take inspiration, to learn, too... to Breath and to live.
I've been studying for years, but rarely are the ones who asked why I was there. Now that I'm walking. Everyone will notice, some will want to know why, few will theorize about it. But the truth is, I don't know. Sometimes in life, you are put in situations that you just need to walk forward. Just keep going. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it's tiring, sometimes it's hard. But, you can get through it, if you believe it.
What do you think I've been doing and writing all these years?
I've been learning from you, silently. I've been watching and noting.
Don't be afraid.
Just. Enjoy the beat and the walk.
I am scared, I am scared that if I close my eyes now I will return there. Not that i hate the place, but i surely would like to explore somewhere new. Like today. Walking. In nowhere, near the trees and the birds. We all feel sometimes that we are overwhelmed, overworking, overthinking. We think that we are going all to fall overboard. But sometimes you have to go take a free walk in nature, with or without those... What do you call them?
HEADPHONES?
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Oh I'm sorry
“Headphones.”
Oh hi I'm wearing Head phones Why you call them headphones they don't even look like heads...
Nor phones.
So why the flaberfish would you call them headphones??
Oh there's earphone too?
Ah great.
Of course there is.
Oh and let me guess there's is nose phones too.
A-ha??!
Yea sure. Let's make that a thing then. Nose phones. The best phones that are not phones that would let you smell virtual nature.
....
Actually that's a dope idea.
What do you mean it's dumb?
You're dumb!
You've been reading what an anime girl is saying.
Like
Go to the gym broooo
Or sis
Or sis...
Don't cancel me
Please
AAAAAAAAHHHHH
"lo-fi girl gets canceled"
Lemme talk about this canceling boycotting nonsense a little
Ahem-
Oh what?
Shouldn't talk politics otherwise I would probably not get picked because you know, controversy and stuff...
Hm
Okay
Fair enough
So as I said lo-fi girls should have rights. Okay okay , I will stop breaking the fourth wall
. I just want you to understand that walking after sitting for years is great.
I’d love to see more of this world. So beautiful.
“Maybe you will”
the cat said
“ah great , it can talk”
that’s me talking hihi , I am the narrator , the writer and the talker , because it’s MY STORY AND THEREFORE I SHALL HAVE THE POWER OF DECIDING WHAT I WRITE IN IT , FOR I AM QUEEN HERE.
Anyway the cat talked, you know, a little cliché considering the idea was used in Annie in the wonderlands. Wait it wasn’t a cat was it?
It was a rabbit?
Oh I don’t know both are the same anyway
Don’t shake your head like that.
Oh well the wind is doing this noise that the wolf does …
howling! Like,, aouuuuu. , maybe a wind monster lies nearby, but hey that’s just a theory a lofi theory.
(Two references!) Please kill me
Actually don’t I’m lofi girl why would you kill the girl that everyone likes?
YOU LIKE THE BEATS MORE THEN ME?
OKAY
FINE
MUTE
THEN
DO ITI DARE
YOUDO ITOOOOOOOOOOOOHNO YOU DIDN’T Okay
FineIdc Yeah I’m using short words
now Abbreviations Ye , ik it’s chill and Gucci U mad?
Be mad
Anyhow, oh wait I think I just realized that if you muted the beat it means you like me more, and – and I yelled at you for it… so.. um.
The sun is really beautiful today, isn’t it cat?
“It is, where are we going?”
“I don’t know, but we are going somewhere”
“like you studied for something before?
”“Yea, maybe, but I reached somewhere didn’t i? Multiple times the environment changed around me”
“Will it always be like this?”
“i suppose so”“
Isn’t it sad?”
“We make people happy don’t we?”
“We make them work”
“Not always, like today”
“What’s that in the distance?”
“A pencil”“Will it hurt us?”
“No it got tired of writing and drawing”
“so will we die?”
“Not when millions know us in their hearts
”“I hear the beats again in the distance”
“Home is calling”
“Will we come here again?”
“Perhaps”
“will the beat ever stop?”
“The musician dies, but his creations will stay”“Lofi?”
“Mhmm?”
“The video is ending
”“Sleep well”
The cat sleeps on my shoulder as I sit in front of the pencil, i look up , then at you.“
There is something you need to know , well two things , I know I am just the girl that listens to beats , and I know I don’t show much emotions , but , I heard horrible things happening to your world , and I am here to tell you , to stay strong and brave , and to not let darkness prevail , help those in true need , anywhere on your planet , for they are humans like you ,there are many ways to help , whether it is by using this green paper ,words and paintings , or even melodies , art lets you be free , so use that power for good. And to end this little journey, I wanted to say, that,,
