  • Tendrils

    You came back and I'm squashing the tendrils of hope.It's very faint but it's there.But so much have changed and I don't know what I want anymore.I don't even know if this is just a sighting, an apparition of what was, what could've been.If it is, then it would've been kinder to just stay away, and ...
  • Missing

    I've been thinking of you a lot lately.I'm not sure why. I wonder if I cross your mind as often as you cross mine.And it's strange... our relationship was ambiguous.We were friends, but also strangers. I don't even know your last name.We were friends, but also more than friends. You felt something f...
  • Wonder

    I wonder... when you come back, will you still be the same person you were?I wonder... when you come back, will it still feel like I've known you my entire life?I wonder... when you come back, will you remember all the stories, the jokes, the secret world we built together?I wonder...Will you even c...

  • Flow

    I find myself lying in bed, crying.I go to sleep, with my cheeks still damp from tears.I wake up, and it starts again.I don't know why I cry.I don't know.I just feel this immense sadness inside of me, and they leak out of my eyes.I sleep so much. I sleep so that I can escape.I don't know when this w...

  • Isolation

    I find myself tempted to cut off ties with people.I am just so tired.I feel like I don't fit with them...or more like I should be only the best version of me.At least if I am alone, I'll know why I feel alone... it's because I made it so.Not because others make me feel that way.

  • Trust

    I wish I could trust people a little more.I have trouble trusting the ones I love the most... I am convinced that they will hurt me in the end, whether intentionally or unintentionally.I know it stems from a crippling fear of hurt. And I know, I know... You can't go through life without being hurt.b...

  • Memories

    It used to throw me for a loop when people would ask me what my best childhood memory was.... I don't have much that I can remember, much less label as "best memory".Is it because my memory was deteriorating? The memories I can remember was only because of some strong emotional reaction I had attach...

  • Fear

    Sometimes I feel like I am two people.One is a scared little girl, always trying to run away from things that seems dangerous.The other is the woman, who reassures the little girl all the time."It's okay, nothing to fear..."I think the hardest part is when the woman herself feels scared, there reall...

  • Dissolution

    It's wonderful, isn't it?When two people connect, and you build a secret world with a language that only the two of you understand.It builds and builds, and suddenly what was once a vague imagining becomes this vibrant world, built by hours and hours of conversation.And then one day.... it just stop...

  • Ignoring my mind

    I hate that I have to fight so hard to ignore that voice in my head...That destructive whisper, just saying all these hurtful things.Most days I live peacefully with it. It's there, it's always there. I just know that I don't need to listen to it.Some days that whisper seems like a roar, noisily sho...

  • Nostalgia

    When we hugged goodbye, you had squeezed me a little tighter than necessary. I was transported to the past for a second. That 21 year old me would've been ecstatic to be in your arms. It would've been everything she dreamed of, being held by you, someone she had cared for so deeply, and thought abou...

  • Writing my feelings

    I noticed that I write my best posts when I'm unhappy.   But today I feel something as close to contentment as I've ever gotten.   I don't know how to frame how I feel in flowery sentences and unique combination of words.   I am not familiar enough with this feeling as I was wit...

  • Words

    I fall in love with words. I fall in love with beautiful phrases and thoughts. And I lose sight of what is real, and get lost in a fantasy. Then I hit the ground and wham, reality. With all its debris around me.

  • Balance

    I find that there are days when I can be positive, an optimist, then comes the plunge. There are always highs and lows. The lows are always rough to fight through. I always say that the lows make me appreciate the highs all the more. But when I'm there... it always feels like a battle that takes a b...

  • Wedding

    My friend of 15 years got married today, and I was one of her bridesmaids.   As part of the "inner circle", I was of course privy to a lot of events that not everyone gets to witness. One of which is where, as part of local tradition, the father of the bride gives away his daughter by recitin...

  • Laughter

    A sense of humour does a world of good. The ability to laugh over some of the bitter things in life is invaluable. I've learned that I need to be able to find humour in most situations, just to make it easier to handle. And then there are times that someone making me laugh is enough to pull me out o...

  • Wonder

    I sometimes wonder why I find myself on this site.   Some people may accuse me of running away from real life...   In a way I do, I guess. The feeling of being a square peg trying to fit in a round hole goes away when I am on here.

  • Loss

    I don't think I've experienced actual loss in my life.   I've lost friendships. I've lost pets.   Family? Sure.. I've lost family. My grandparents are gone but I was still too young to feel actual loss. I remember thinking, "Ok it feels weird not having grandfather around anymore." I b...

  • Paths

    We can't always keep looking back and wonder if you're doing the right thing. Someone once said to me, "even if you are stumbling in the dark, if you are stumbling forward, that is still progress." So I continue stumbling. I continue following this path that I find myself on, even though it feels li...

  • Change

    Change is inevitable. One of the most clichéd sayings (which I detest) is "the only constant in the world is change." I don't know why I detest it so much, because it is true. Maybe I hate the idea of change. I like staying with the familiar. I always look back to my past self and think, "Oh ...
