  3. What pleasure can be derived from this relationship? Can you tell me the answer to that question? Should we even be together on any level? Is it not short term

Creativity is all about observing the world, taking it all in, and coming up with a twist on something else. If derived hadn’t been my assignment, the end result would have been different, but still derived.

  7. She looked towards one corner, and then she looked towards the other.
    There was no way to decide which flower looked better.
    So instead, she stepped towards the middle, took a breath, and stared towards the ceiling.

    And in this way, she wouldn’t derive anything anymore, any longer.

  10. love and time are just about the same thing
    abstract villainy – something incomprehensible,
    but easy
    as it breaks to nothing to pieces

    about around astounded
    nothing derived from an idea
    how it fades away if you think hard enough.

  14. From her, I came. She held me first, she kissed my forehead, she rubbed my back. She put soft hats on my small head and kissed my toes. I can’t imagine a day she could ever be the same as she was. She will never be the toe-kissing, back-rubbing, bear-hugging mother I dream of and need and want.

  15. I would be so glad to be derived from something, but being human, I can only be from. See, I wish I was ‘Derived from the glowing hills, dancing with the rain of Ireland.’ Then to be ‘From somewhere in Europe, we don’t know.’

  16. You see, I think the word derived is just about the best word ever. Why? Because who doesn’t want to be derived from something? I’d rather be ‘Derived from the misty flowing hills of deep Ireland.’ than ‘From some place by London? I don’t know.’

  17. The best feeling in life, that most people try to achieve, is the feeling that they are wanted or needed; best friends are a great example of that. However, once in a relationship, you get that feeling tenfold. You now have this one person that wants to see you all the time, otherwise, their day is incomplete. You need to have them around as well and have never been happier. Unfortunately, your best friends began to slowly disappear; something you promised yourself would never happen. But what if, one of your friends confessed they didn’t like your new love? This key information forces you to question everything that ever happened or rethink everything ever said. Then you begin to wonder if she is the only one who thinks like this and is this the reason plans always fall apart? Perhaps this is another sacrifice in life. The life most everyone dreams about is finding love, having a family and living happily ever after. I have never believed in fairy tales as my life has never been an example of one…..but what now? Can we not have it all? Friends, family, love?……Maybe having love means losing people of your past; perhaps, its just one of them.

  18. The fact that Paul was a prick was derived from the fact that he had never spoken a nice word to anyone in his entire life. We all despised him and wished him dead. Imagine our surprise when he made our day and ended up dead.

  19. What is success derived from? Is it willpower? Good planning? Research? All of the above? Is it different for each person in the world, and can we discover where our own personal success is derived from? I sure hope so.

  23. Early the next morning he is awoken by the dawn crawling through his curtains. He is sore, stiff, and completely saturated with what he hopes is his own vomit–most likely derived from his stash of now-empty beer bottles the night before.

  24. I dived. That was it, wasn’t it? The catalyst? The chain reaction.

    Divided what was mine, more is less, but it only…it only…
    Reminded me of what was left behind.

    Energy seeps into the phrases which are keyed to rhymes that later become the signs.

    into the rising sun

  40. The first word I thought of when I saw ‘derived’ was derivative, which is a difficult word to spell. Usually, I write little stories and snippets on these things, but I guess today my brain just wasn’t feelin’ it. It’s hard to create a story out of nowhere, and they almost never get finished. Writing a complete story in a minute could be impossible. Usually mine don’t have endings, but maybe that is a goal to aspire to. I feel like I’m cheating, because none of this has to do with the word derived… But this is a word association game, and all that came to my mind was stream-of-consciousness type rambling today. Hah!
