Forgetting the past. It’s not easy to leave behind what we once lived, what we once loved or hated. People say to forgive and forget- but what they don’t quite express is how. In my head, I always give people the benefit of the doubt. That is my issue. Because even when someone has treated … Continue reading Sea of Memories
Loneliness
One. Two. One. Two. Left. Right. Left. Right. One foot in front of the other. Just keep going. Keep walking. You can do this. With each step, my knees plead to give out and my tear ducts release the dam that has been holding the flood back. Lately each day has been the same. Miserable. … Continue reading Loneliness

Trying too hard to be happy leads to. . . sadness?
Throughout my eighteen years of living, one thing I’ve concluded is that being happy isn’t easy. People in this world say happiness is a choice, but if it truly was that easy wouldn’t everyone simply just choose to be happy? As humans, we have this innate quest to find these so-called feelings of joy and … Continue reading Trying too hard to be happy leads to. . . sadness?

You know that feeling when you do something you haven’t done in a while and then it sort of hits you in a cinema-style fashion, why haven’t I done this for so long? Lately, since my life has been going through a great deal of all that. I’ve started dancing spontaneously again, breaking out singing … Continue reading Living in the Now
Moving On & The Changing Meanings of Words
Everything is confusing in life. Each day we make choices, these choices are what dictate our lives. Every thought we have, every step we take, every word we say has an impact.

It’s a start with the Head and the Heart
The head and heart are two peas in a pod. They are what dictate the way one lives their life, the choices a person makes, and the risks a person takes. Via the carotid artery, the myocardium sends blood to the brain at a rapid rate of three feet per second. When danger is sensed, … Continue reading It’s a start with the Head and the Heart
Time, Mistakes, & Skipping Rocks
Time is one of the only phenomena that there is no control over. It moves on with or without us. It doesn’t observe boundaries. It keeps going and going and going and nothing can stop it. Until, that is, it runs out. I never truly realized the way things can change in an instant. One … Continue reading Time, Mistakes, & Skipping Rocks
Drip.
Drip. Plop. Sunlight crawls its way through the cracks in the rocks of the ceiling of the dim alcove. The scent of mud and moss wafts through the air and nips her face when a gust of wind latches on and crawls in with the sunlight. The wet walls are claustrophobic, and the … Continue reading Drip.
