Star-bound Lovers

The clock ticks ever so slowly as it approaches tomorrow. In this moment, time has stalled. We’ve been transported into our own world as ‘Parisian Lovers’, separated from the canonical timeline, and while we’re here, dancing with you is all I would like to do. After all, midnight approaches and we will have to say ourContinue reading “Star-bound Lovers”

Did I Ever Mean Anything to You

Yesterday, two people I love got married. She was a girl I met just after I finished high school, and he was someone I met during my first year of university. I met each of them in different places for different reasons, so it was odd to hear that they had connected many years later.Continue reading “Did I Ever Mean Anything to You”

It’s Well-Worn but Worn Out

I thought I’d be wearing that sweater until its seams gave out and the material wasted away. Instead, I threw it back in the face of the one who had nonchalantly gifted it to me in the first place. I’ve been feeling a little worse for wear lately. Though, I suppose that it’s nothing newContinue reading “It’s Well-Worn but Worn Out”

We’re Not Really Strangers

What are your obstacles to companionship—to connection and meaningful relationships? Is it that you’re isolated from your friends because you have moved long distances away, has work taken you away from them, or… do you need to put in more effort? Perhaps you’re on the receiving end, seeking out your friends. You’ve done the workContinue reading “We’re Not Really Strangers”

Mr Happy and Little Miss Grumpy-in-the-Mornings

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that when a lady does not get the appropriate amount of sleep, she will suffer the morning grumpies. — Jane Austen (or something idk) I love my sleep. Need my sleep. Many of the friends who have been unfortunate enough to be around a sleep-deprived me will tell you justContinue reading “Mr Happy and Little Miss Grumpy-in-the-Mornings”

Lover Girl

We’ve travelled another year around the sun, and now we’re here. It’s Valentine’s Day. Just another day of bittersweet feelings. Seeing love and loving that love for others, but painfully remembering that you don’t have it. Funnily enough, you had someone to share life with last year, yet today is the second Valentine’s Day inContinue reading “Lover Girl”

I Ate Seven Ice Blocks

There’s a sense of childlike joy you feel chasing after ice cream trucks down the street. And I find it a little ironic because I never did that as a kid. Not because I wasn’t allowed to, but just because we had ice cream at home. It was simply more expensive to buy them fromContinue reading “I Ate Seven Ice Blocks”

First

It’s a little strange reflecting on firsts, When thinking about lost seconds, With the boy that came before the third. My mind goes through the broken promises; The unrealised dreams, big and small; And the small lies that turned into great whites. I wish I could say the secrets weren’t a first—That they didn’t turnContinue reading “First”

Words I Didn’t Want To Hear

I was emotionally attached to her. Those were the words I didn’t want to hear. If I had known an admission like that was coming, would I have blocked my ears? Tears welled up in my eyes and streaked down my face hearing those words. I was justifiably angry and deeply grieved. I went intoContinue reading “Words I Didn’t Want To Hear”

The Cost of Courage

Only the bravest become generals of mighty armies and powerful men. They are strong and assert their influence over the ones who follow them. But in the battles of endless bloodshed, do they harden their hearts to claim authority and hide the guilt and shame of leaving fallen brethren behind? Perhaps it really is theContinue reading “The Cost of Courage”
