       " He was a tall, tan, handsome man with such dark black sleek hair resembling that of the black panther, his dark cold eyes made you curious about his frigid past and this man this man was my Dad. Never knowing where to draw the lines between love and selfishness it brings me here to the beginning of forgiving my Dad. For all the times you cheated on my mom. For the times you lied and hurt me physically, mentally, emotionally, and took away my happiness from arms reach. "

~~This non fiction story was written based upon my accounts and experiences. I was inspired to write this vignette because i needed a way to get rid of the past. The only way i felt like i could do this would be by writing these accounts on paper and using them as an inspiration as a way of moving on by letting the past go.I feel that the piece alone describes everything that there is to know. Its about a bittersweet / love and hate  relationship between a daughter and father.I will actually not be using this peice for my final portfolio. The reason why is because it was a bit to personal which to a certain degree i do not mind but i feel that people might be sympatethic which is something that i am not seeking for. I coud of changed it up a bit probabbly by not making it so personal and putting it maybe in a third person view or even changing the sory and topic all together. I have written short stories before, many actually in high school. But there is a huge difference when you are writing a academic essay on a certain topic with strict regulations that have to be done on a paper versus a piece where u have the power to take it in any direction but with only very few restrictions. You as the writer have a choice with how exactly you wnt the writer to read and understand along with the type of flow you would like to add to the paper. By writing this paper it not only helped my vent my thoughts it also showed me that creative non fiction is what you make of it at the end of the day when the piece is done.I revised my piece by looking it over on my phone and from there whenever i had time i would check it thoroughly for mistakes and bad usage of words.  Im looking forward to the other papers up ahead.
