FLASHBACK


MusicđŸŽ¶đŸŽ¶(Distant sound coming from an enclosed room). Mum opens the door— "What in the lords name are you doing??” "Pouring so much sweat like a tap with a worn out washer"


Yep! That’s me in my room—with my Sony Walkman, been hours connecting with every track like I wrote it, word for word—Day Dreaming.

This Is Not My Rest

He woke up, stood up from his bed, bowed his head, and looked around him. All he could see was his desk set-up with a desktop, laptop, books, and a Bluetooth speaker by the side.


He walked to the window and looked at the neighboring houses. Some were partially collapsed, their roofs torn, surrounded by overgrown grass.


“I’m tired of this!”


“This life!”


“This environment!”


“Same routine!”

Kiss Me

Darcella stares into his brown swirling eyes, filled with emotion. His eyes glimmered under the shining moonlight. Tonight, it was only them under an ocean full of stars.


They shined down on Darcella and Adelio, illuminating their flesh and masking their features in shadows. In Darcella’s mind, Adelio was one of the most lovable man she had ever met. She could not imagine she’d be who she was tod...

The Problem With Clementine

Making a choice, that was the hardest thing. And sometimes, when you made a choice, it wasn’t a choice at all, but an attempt at ducking one. Clementine was a grade A example of that.

‘I don’t know what to do after high school so I’ll stay on and do A Levels’, her mind had concluded. ‘Now that A Levels are coming to an end, I guess I’ll go to Uni’. Another similar conclusion.

Chance

It took me 6 years to decide what school I would go to. Which friends I would leave. And which colors suited me most. I had always thought I would be a Hornet. All my friends were going there, so why wouldn’t I. But every time I thought about it, it didn’t seem right. The other school intrigued me. It called me. I always found an excuse to keep it on my mind. But when somebody were to ask me ...

It might Just Be Worth It

Change.

A strange thing, isn't it?

It's something I hate, yet want.

Change could be changing your style, hair, interests, or room.

It could be a job, school, friends, or family.

It's something that could be huge to one person, and small to the next.

What if it’s a death? A loss? A goodbye?

It could be something won...

Our Breaking World

I can’t do this right now. I can’t look into his deep green eyes. I can’t look at his perfectly curled hair. I can’t look at his beautiful complexion. I can’t.


I’ve been dating Austin for the past ten months. I know I should have ended this sooner, but I didn’t have enough guts to break his heart. He wasn’t good for me. Every flaw that’s within me came flooding out when I was with him. He brough...

Seize The Day

It was about time for a change. For quite a while I’ve been annoyed with how my days are going. Struggeling to get out of bed in the morning and staying up too late in the evenings. But not anymore. I’ll set a few alarm clocks for tomorrow morning and get up immediately when they go off. No matter how tired I feel, I decide now that I’ will get up. I don’t know how big this change exactly is, but ...
