Journal entry 05/01/2018 | 9:45pm I suppose it’s safe to say it’s easy to get carried away when swimming towards the sunset. Both physically and mentally, with the waves sweeping your body out further and further, but your mind doesn’t mind because it wants a challenge. Deeper and deeper, further and further, so far you…

Can Ghosts Die?
There are some places I’ll never go back to. Not because they meant nothing to me, or because they are not worthy of my revisit, but because they meant too much. Because they hold memories of a person who has left my body. A me who is no longer. A me who helped build the…
Read MoreSocial media is fake. Or is it?
Social media. A big part of our lives for most. Many times it has been discussed that social media creates a ‘fake’ representation of our lives, but I don’t think this is entirely true. I am mainly speaking for Instagram as that is the main platform that I use and am familiar with. The argument…

Read MoreIntoxicated happiness – A poem
I find happiness in their intoxication. In their muddled minds turned to mush That finally see me as one of them. I become less invisible As if in this loss of clarity I am clearer Because let’s face it, I was never clear in the first place. Maybe I’m still not But instead of being…
Read MoreOn my fondness of letter writing
I’ve always liked the idea of letter writing. I think there are multiple reasons for this. 1. I like the idea of having something special from a person that I can keep and look back on in the future, because looking back on things is something that I enjoy the most. Maybe that’s one reason…
