@EmmaE hey would you explain this.. I didn't get it

@Vagi

Hi Vagi, of course!

So the prompts are on the post and you are meant to copy and paste it, and then replace all of the brackets that say noun, adjective, etc with words that fit in their place.

For example:

My name is Emma

Today I feel like a white bird flying through the sky

Sometimes I am a weight

Sometimes I am an ant

But always I am brave 

I ask the world, “how did I get here?”

And the answer is, a white bird flying through the sky


I hope this helped!
