Do the people who traumatize us so bad even realize how much our lives are never going to be the same, just because of who they are? There are places I can no longer visit, because of people who’ve left so abruptly in their exact spots. Scents I keep trying to avoid, for they […]

There’s something about those friendships that just happen to flow, that really warms my heart. They don’t need effort, they just smoothly and beautifully flow. As if the universe somehow wants you two to get close, and so it secretly plans it all. You start off with a connection that gradually grows. Without either of […]

  Yesterday, I heard this really loud buzz coming from the kitchen and figured it had something to do with the gas meter. I already had issues with it over the year, so hearing that buzz kind of made my heart skip a few beats. I wasn’t ready to go through anything that needed me […]

  Sometimes it feels like you’re done experiencing every little feeling there is out there. Like your stories only manage to bring out slightly different versions of the same feelings and emotions you already know. That nothing‘s really capable of surprising you anymore.
