Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
1. I wish I hadn’t said no to afternoon naps when I was still a kid. Now, I understand the value of rest. I get drowsy in class due to lack of sleep.
2. I wish I hadn’t been so naive about life. Goodbye wishful thinking.
3. I wish I hadn’t been so afraid to open up. But my friends were very patient and I thank them for that.
4. I wish I hadn’t tried to be like someone...

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
1. Satisfaction. I often think about the components in life that will satisfy me. They’re not limited to material things like a DSLR camera or a professional violin. In fact, I usually focus on the concepts of love, faith and freedom.
2. Future. I guess I’m a future-oriented person. I have a list of long-term goals in life and I often think about having plan B’s in case the said...
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
1. Be kind to your family, to your friends and even to strangers. I hate mean, selfish, egoistical people.
2. Read and write, not just because you have to. I love people who are into literature. A poet, a prose fanatic or a songwriter. I love them all. Just make sure you have checked “you’re” basic grammar or I might have to tell you that “your” wrong.
3. Smile....

Restoration
I restore myself when I’m alone. - Marilyn Monroe
She stands somewhere around the shadows, drenched in silence and emptiness; staring at the people far in front of her. They are about 30 steps away, but they seem farther than that.
She does not know the purpose of her existence. She does not even feel alive. Breathing, but merely existing. This feeling causes the tears to leak out from her...
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten...
1. I think you’re awesome. Really awesome. I’ve always been comfortable in your company. Don’t change.
2. See? I know we’re better off as friends. I’m glad we have passed that awkward stage, man. Cheers to our friendship.
3. Hey, I’ve got a crush on you. But I wouldn’t really tell you, so yeah.
4. I wish you would stop all the pretense. It’s...

To See or To Feel
Mon dieu, there’s this hole gaping at me again; threatening to swallow me. I could not just stay idle in this state so I attempt to resist the force that tries to slide me into the pit.
It succeeded. And here, everything is just pitch black. So I get out to actually see something worthwhile and satiate this emptiness.
Only to feel nothing.
I guess I better go back to that hole. I cannot...
La Dispute - The Castle Builders
We are not our failures. We are love.
I guess we should all stop being our own worst critics.
“Can you blame me for my misanthropy, when the world showed no mercy to me?”
Academic Failure
Silence. The test paper stares at me, demanding that I should regurgitate all the facts explicitly discussed days and weeks before. I stare back at it, absentmindedly biting the cap of my pen; until I see the marks that are permanently etched. I run my eyes to the printed letters that seem to be screaming sheer dominance.
10 minutes. I try to focus on the questions. Hours of studying the previous...
Cynical
I cannot seem to grasp the significance of this incoherent stream of lines that make up this rambling. The flow of words does not appear to stop; like an uncontrollable current of a raging waterfall, trying to break free from its boundaries.
My head is preoccupied of useless thoughts about the latest development of life and things that are blossoming into their fullest extent. It is a challenge...
Watchlikelava:
there are no images, it’s just that to overlap the audio i had to make it a video because my software is out of date. i’m trying to be brave about some things. this was something i didn’t even want to share in writing, much less in my own voice. i don’t think this is staying up for very long, but i’m trying to do things i’m a little afraid of, you know.
here are the words though be...
Nothingness
I lie on my bed, being haunted by a half-forgotten memory. I feel a stab on my heart and my mind is silently floating; seeing fleeting glimpses of unknown lives. Remnants of days of naivety and shallow contentment long gone. Times when innocence could be grasped by hopeful hands, and the mind processes questions from such insatiable curiosity.
Tonight, I hear the mourning echoes of emptiness. The...
Rods
I have horrible eyesight. Anything beyond about 5 meters is blurry. The outline of the environment loses its sharpness. The colors, lacking contrast. Some even wonder how people like me cope up with this problem in nighttime.
I can start explaining about how rods work in the dark. However, I have come to a conclusion that no one would possibly continue to read this when I start to do so.
Seeing...
