I have decided not to publish my writings during this quarantine because I didn't want to cast seeds of anxiety and panic among the people who might read what I write. Since the pandemic began, I would only write on my journal and it is interesting to note the progression of my thoughts from sheer… Continue reading Inside the Proverbial Tunnel

On a Night Like This
Right now I am staring at the window in my bedroom that I have stared at the same way on a night like this seven years ago when I moved into this house. I was reminded of it because Facebook showed me the picture I posted on 2013 and I counted the years in my… Continue reading On a Night Like This
Embracing Uncertainty With all its Trimmings
I have been pondering for several days now on what I should be writing about next. There were some things that crossed my mind but I'm a bit hesitant because I don't think I'm ready to share that with the world yet, or better yet, I don't think I will ever be ready. Before making… Continue reading Embracing Uncertainty With all its Trimmings
The Rising of the Wave
This morning at breakfast, as I was looking out the window and into the sunshine that spilled onto the nearby plants, I realised that I was feeling okay again. My wave is rising, I thought to myself. I have read somewhere that women are like waves. Our emotions tend to rise and fall, just like… Continue reading The Rising of the Wave
I Have Always Been the Sun
It's my 21st day of writing and I won't oblige myself to write everyday after this. After all, I think I was able to make writing a habit because I think about it and plan for it when I'm not doing it. I am so relieved because I felt like I have finally said my… Continue reading I Have Always Been the Sun
There is a Light That Refuses to go out
It's been twenty days of non-stop writing everyday and someone told me today that it's amusing to note that my writing has a progression. And I agreed with her. I have noticed the progression in my writing as well. From low and desolate, it steadily and surely climbed its way up until it broke the… Continue reading There is a Light That Refuses to go out
When Blood is Supposed to be Thicker
We can't really choose who our family will be. It's one of those things in life where the gift of free will was suddenly suspended and it ends up looking like a cosmic joke to all of us who believe in free will. I don't usually write or talk about my family because I grew… Continue reading When Blood is Supposed to be Thicker
It’s the end of a Decade
I've read somewhere that the end of 2019 will also be the closing of a decade. Wow, the end of another decade. It's just as melancholic as when the 90's ended (which in my opinion is still the best decade so far.) I looked back on how my life was at the beginning of this… Continue reading It’s the end of a Decade
It’s Like Coming up for air
Today it felt like the ball and chain has been taken off of my foot and I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I feel grateful for writing because though it opened a can of worms, I was able to take out the trash and gain clarity because I… Continue reading It’s Like Coming up for air
Down the Rabbit Hole
I have noticed that it's taking me a while to come up with something to write about now that I'm nearing my 21st day of writing straight. Today is my 16th day and it's not that I have nothing to write about anymore, I still have a lot to write about, the problem is that… Continue reading Down the Rabbit Hole
