Too bright, too loud – a poem

Waking up groggy and with everything so bright I can't focus and can you get that light out of my eye? A fake smile plastered on my face, Conjuring all the strength I have to move and smile I can't think, just give me awhile.   Pushing myself to the limit Feeling dead inside, It's…

Feel good things

I've been feeling a little anxious and out of my skin today. So, I thought, why not make a post about positive things to make me feel better. Just thinking about the things on this list already made me smile. 1. A good hair day. When you feel slightly better about yourself because somehow externally,…

Life all around us

I am but a feeling, a small mass of thoughts and bits of soul held together by the flesh and bones in which I am defined by the people around me. In each of us, we carry our small wonders in these transports that we place such high value and importance. Despite it not being…

Scented candles

I am obsessed with them. I love the warmth and atmosphere that they emit. The glow of the candle and seeing the contrast where modern meets simplicity. A candle being a source of light, warmth and life. I'm getting sidetracked but bear with me for a moment. An advice to everyone: Don't stare at the…

Uncertainty

I don't like dealing with uncertainties and what ifs. I second guess myself all the time. Even after making a resolve or a decision, I'm still not sure if it's the right choice. The feeling comes in waves. I would be confident with my decision at first, however by the following week, this ball of…

I’ll be honest

I am not perfect nor am I happy all the time. Social media gives me a lot of pressure to hide the ugly parts of myself and to only showcase the ups of my life. Those picture perfect moments. Only happy things and never the bad. I wondered if I should do that when it…

To swear or not to swear?

I have been debating with myself about whether I should stop swearing. It's a bad habit of mine. Well, at least some people think so. I'm still on the fence on this one. Maybe because I'm a girl? So I'm not supposed to swear? A lot of people have this preconception of girls where we're…

I need a cup of sunshine

Sometimes, I don't feel like going out. I don't feel like speaking. I just want to be left alone. Maybe it's just the way I look or the way I feel about myself that day. It's strange. But most times, I'm forced to leave the house because I have classes. Hello, student life. It's hard.…

What a fool

A letter to a jerk: This isn't the first time nor would it be the last. I'm upset and frankly I'm beginning to resent you. I hate jump scares. I hate being teased or toyed with. I'm willing to tolerate some harmless pranks and jokes. But I think that it's gone far enough. You've once…

Fickle friendship

For starters, I don't have the largest social circle. I'm more of a "quality over quantity" person. But I do have this feeling of anxiety where I'm afraid that I might do or say something wrong that might cause my friends to leave me. Because what's so interesting about me? I don't know what it…
