GOODBYE by HOWL Staff

Goodbye HOWL Heritage!

I learned so much from this class, how to get along with others and take criticism easily. I’ll miss all of the awesome works that were posted and everyone. This class was the most upbeat and I’m so grateful that I got to be apart of it all. I’m definitely going to miss the feeling I got when my own work was posted. Just that feeling that I could have my moment to shine, that I could be a somebody instead of just someone that was just there. This class boosted my confidence so much and I’m so happy about that.

Thank you for the great memories!

I simply don’t know what to do, to try or not to try? I love him, I probably always will. But knowing he was embraced by someone else. A rage of lust is different than a tsunami of emotions.
