I don't think anyone will ever understand what I am thinking of. I, myself, don't understand. I wonder why, the times before, I never felt this way. I was drive so full of passion. Was. Where had that gone? Was it ever truly there? He will leave you. One day. He said it himself. Why … Continue reading Voices of my head

Monsters under the bed
I used to think there were monsters under the bed. Having to sleep on the floor in my parents' room gave me a view of under their bed. Nothing was there, I was sure. But when I turn off the lights, I swear beady eyes kept staring into my soul. Hence, sleep alluded me. But, … Continue reading Monsters under the bed
Life Cycle
My last post was about my last semester of course work in College. A semester of doing practicum had passed, and the most awaited graduation day arrived. A momentous day remembering the 5 years of my daily college routine. Finally graduating from 18 years of compulsary education. Celebrating 21 years of living and dreaming.

Think Happy Thoughts
Double feature tonight because I looked back, and apparently, there are too much self-loathing posts. So... I'll post an excerpt of the essay I wrote in class which got me praises from the professor. I really didn;t expect it since I crammed the paper the night before. If she gives out a grade "super", she … Continue reading Think Happy Thoughts

I like finding the reasons for why people act the way they do, and every time I feel sad or depressed, I can't help but analyze myself.

While I was laughing on the outside, my mind was already stricken with fear- fear of what the … Continue reading Left Unwritten

Emotions
So today marks the first official day as the president of our organization. I don't really know how to convey my emotions, without me ending up rambling on and on about things you don't really care. Instead, I wrote these very short poems (they take the form of Haiku, but Haiku are much more complicated … Continue reading Emotions

Fueling the Passion
Below is an essay I wrote for a competition. When I wrote the answer, I had the question on my mind. After reading my answer, I realized that I wasn't able to answer the question. I ended up making a different essay. I didn't want it to go to waste, so here it is: Ever … Continue reading Fueling the Passion
