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

I Have Loved you for a Year
Whenever I think of you, I'd like to think that we were born at a time where afternoons were golden and the internet was a pipe dream. We live on the opposing ends of the spectrum but we still meet somewhere in the middle. I keep thinking you don't belong in my world and I… Continue reading I Have Loved you for a Year
Channeling the Rage
I have been doing one write up a day for fourteen days straight now and I couldn't have been prouder because I never thought that I could do it. I'm aiming to do this for twenty-one days straight because I heard somewhere that in order for something to become a habit, you have to be… Continue reading Channeling the Rage
Until I Found you
I remember the afternoon I first saw you. I didn't really believe in love at first sight then, I thought it was something invented by the films we watch. It's funny because the back of your head was the first thing I saw and I have decided I liked you. I tried to take a… Continue reading Until I Found you
Dear Friend
Dear Friend, First of all, I would like to thank you for always trying to understand me all these years. I always thought we were cut from the same cloth that is why I don't find it hard to explain myself to you because when I find it hard to explain myself sometimes and I… Continue reading Dear Friend
It all Comes full Circle
I'm writing late because my writing's usual time slot of six to eight in the evening was generously given to something important. Technically, the day still hasn't ended so I'm still qualified for my 21-day writing streak challenge. A while ago I was with the people who I've ended my 2017 with. And with everything… Continue reading It all Comes full Circle
Sliding Doors Moment
I've come upon this term very recently and it denotes the tiny, seemingly inconsequential choices or moments that alter the direction of future events. I also surmised that it had something to do with the movie "Sliding Doors" which I was able to watch many years back. The film "Sliding Doors" is about a woman… Continue reading Sliding Doors Moment
It’s the Gift That Keeps on Giving
I'm supposed to meet a friend this afternoon but I told her I have to do my writing first. I have promised myself that I will write for 21 days straight, about whatever it is that comes to mind, not caring about what other people will say, whether people will like it or not. I… Continue reading It’s the Gift That Keeps on Giving
All That we Leave Behind
I've been imagining what it would be like when I finally leave this God-forsaken place. I imagine myself having a destination to go to and the plane ticket that will ferry me to my new life. I imagine all the years I have built fitted into humongous suitcases and carry-ons; all the excesses of my… Continue reading All That we Leave Behind
When Everything Breaks all at Once
This time of year last year, if somebody told me how my 2019 is going to end, I wouldn't have believed them. I can still remember the closing of my year last year, it was cheerful and hopeful as compared to the sombre and ambiguous one this year. I honestly don't know what's going to… Continue reading When Everything Breaks all at Once
