I Can’t Complain

Yesterday, I was unhappy About the girl I saw in the mirror, But ignored the physical flaws In favour of an extraordinary day Overflowing with joyous celebration. I was anxious having to wait For a car that never came, And needing to find A new way to the room Of happy eyes and masked smiles.ContinueContinue reading “I Can’t Complain”

Strawberry Milk

FADE IN: INT. SUBURBAN HOMES – NIGHT WE OPEN on Discord. Four friends sit at their computers, in contrastingly lit rooms, chatting with each other on a voice channel with their cameras on. While doing their own things, they talk about foods they miss eating and stumble into an argument over the best flavour ofContinueContinue reading “Strawberry Milk”

A Foreign Language

To be sitting in a classroom, where I understood maybe one in every twenty words spoken, where all but one other understands the language – it was an unequivocal feeling. The strange familiarity of mentally losing it as time went on takes me back to the days I travelled across the world, finding myself somewhereContinueContinue reading “A Foreign Language”

Autopilot

Yesterday was a strange day. It was full of many things to do, many people to see and many conversations to tend to. And people who know me would probably ask: what makes it different from any other day you live? I remember listening to a conversation about living life as if you were onContinueContinue reading “Autopilot”

Look Up At The Stars

Look up at the stars They’re like pieces of art Floating above the ground https://open.spotify.com/track/3XK7BaY0KkRnu7cpZlOZwI?si=XtMZYq_ySNm84v7NtRMEYg The air was cool and the night was dark, at least, away from where we found ourselves; away from the blinding lights of the gazebo decorated with warm fairy lights. Waiting for the last of us to arrive, we musedContinueContinue reading “Look Up At The Stars”

A ball of floof

I’ll admit, I haven’t had too much wordy inspiration today. I woke up a little earlier than anticipated, I ate a quick breakfast and even had time in the morning to do a little baking preparation. Mind you, I had somewhere to be later in the day, so that extra time I had in theContinueContinue reading “A ball of floof”

Send off

Today I was awoken by the sounds of a familiar and unfamiliar voice. One was a man sent to spray pesticide in the house to keep those nettlesome cockroaches at bay, and the other was someone I knew all too well. Sometime in high school, he became a part of my church family. He wasContinueContinue reading “Send off”

You’re a leader

There is a phrase I’ve been hearing a lot lately. I’m not sure when it began – sometime this year, I noticed a strange pattern. In my experience, it isn’t uncommon for someone to ask my opinion on a matter, and that’s what people have been doing. It often comes after some sort of discussionContinueContinue reading “You’re a leader”

I forgot to eat.

Today, I finally had some time to myself at home. No, I didn’t stay in bed all day and watch Netflix, or anything unproductive like that. I did a lot of cleaning. Sometimes I can get a little carried away, and that may mean I forget to do important things… like eating. Yes, I forgotContinueContinue reading “I forgot to eat.”

Living Inside the World of Film

Today, I went to the beach. The weather wasn’t particularly good – the sky was blanketed in clouds that brought a little drizzle to the earth, and it was cooler, yet more humid than most summer days that I am used to. Despite the terrible weather, I was still so determined to go, and weContinueContinue reading “Living Inside the World of Film”
