I had a friend once who toasted me over a glass of wine the night I moved out on my own for the first time by saying, "here's to the beginning of the rest of your life." I never told her how petrified I was to make that move or how I thought for sure [...]
I don't imagine life in fairytales, but I will for the sake of money trees and exceptions I conceive. The substance of life itself, I suppose, can entice anyone within a circumstance to make belief. Still, I feel the weight of participation like callous hands and guarantees, a witness to my heeds. Maybe it's the [...]
Is it we or time which carries more power in the waves of variation? I tend to admire the process of terms in time like how much can change or similarily stay the same. And then there's me, someone, who feels I've edited so many times it's as though I've lived a thousand lives. Nonetheless, [...]
There’s an idiom I used to bask in the glory of saying. “This is where the rubber meets the road.” It was like a testament to everything I felt qualified and bound to do. But now, my wheels are turning, and the rubber feels rough against the pavement to which I’m traveling. This is my [...]
Just when I think I have nothing left to say...I remember one more statement I forgot to make. I've been thinking maybe life will always work that way, leaving me to wonder about this idea of "more." Questions I've had about what more I could say trickled into what more I should do. Now I [...]
What is about seeing a place I know I shouldn’t be that makes me want to go there? I imagine this as the opening line to the book that I may never get around to write. The one where I expose my every weakness page after page. Hoping that somehow my words will reach someone [...]
I'm 16 all over again as I scan the overcrowded yet disorderly organized walls of my dad's workshop, wondering if there's anything I could give him that he hasn't already gotten for himself. He told me he didn't want anything, but ever since I can remember, he's instilled in me the importance of gratitude. So [...]
In Newton's Third Law of Motion he stated that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." A law that when considered in the realm of physics is so obvious for the simplification can be proven in its display. The example of throwing a tennis ball against a wall is one I always [...]
So, fun fact(s) about me ; I love fun facts but not on command. I enjoy using nature in metaphors.(Almost) every month I submit an entry in the Challenge of the Month on Prose. Here was the challenge for April. Below is my entry. DISCLAIMER : I've edited the original entry slightly for this post [...]
"Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life." At first, this phrase sounded like hopeful advice to the endless opportunities open for me to pursue. However, over time it'd begun to sound more like an idealized method of response on how to find the "right" career path. So [...]
