Secrets Are Fun
You know when I look at you, I can just tell. I’d like to think that I know you better than you think I do. I know you better than maybe you even know yourself, or you do know but won’t admit it just yet. At times, I worry that maybe the same is true the other way around. Can you tell what it is that I’m thinking? Are you able to pick up on the implications of my words or my...
Altruism vs. Self
Lately I’ve been questioning myself a lot. I want to do nice things. It’s important to continually work towards doing nice things. I want to invest my life to helping people, that’s nice. But why? What is my reason? Why am I choosing to do these things, as oppose to trying to making a lot of money or gain notoriety in some way? Aspirations in which people find typical and...
“What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me?...”

Thoughts of the Day
I had a thought today where I just wanted to scream to someone, “You’re a selfish person!” It’s a pretty cruel thing to say because I’ve always lived my life in the belief that people are essentially good. You might commit selfish acts, but you yourself are not selfish. A friend of mine told me, “I’m such a bitch. Really, I am.” And I said,...
Challenge: Accepted
Challenge: Write a story with a twist in 50 words.
There lived a girl who wanted immortality. Since she could walk, she’s searched. One day, she learned about an immortal living in the mountain. Up it, she climbed.
“Go home;” he cried to her, “Life alone is not worth living.” From then, she left to find forever with someone instead.
Life Is Long
I was watching The Art of Getting By (great movie by the way) and Emma Roberts’ character tells the guy, “You know we’re meant to be together one day.” He tells her, “Don’t leave.” She says to him, “Don’t worry; life is long.” Then I thought of you. I used to think that too about us.
I was never worried about losing you because even if...
Strong D
What made me so guarded? A friend of mine once told me it was because I have daddy issues but I don’t think that’s right. I have brothers and I’m very close to them. They’re the male figures in my life. Another reason could be because this guy broke my heart one time but I was guarded before I met him too.
I really believe I was born this way. When I was younger, it was...
Manifesto of the Equals
Be a fervent believer of equality. Not equality in a socialist context but equality as the eyes of society. The notion that there are always going to be discrepancies in income and means of life is fictitious. Presently, we think it but it doesn’t have to be so.
Picture a world in which rights are given to everyone, erasing borders and divides amongst humanity. No person, entity,...
Forever
Once again, nothing to read so I must entertain myself.
I tend to change my mind a lot and my emotions fluctuate all over the place. It leaves people perplexed. “But I thought you liked me,” is the response I usually get. Let me explain.
I don’t know why I fall in and out of “like” with people. When I tell someone I like them, I genuinely do. I go through the...
The Bridge
Remember…
When you were enthralled in passion
When you were led by foolish emotions to wander late into the night to find yourself in the arms of a stranger
How every naïve notions of love was acted on and every soft-spoken words were accepted as tokens of truths as if they were the reciprocal of mutual affections
When you felt and you fell, and it hurt but you continued to let yourself...
Dream of A Dream
There’s not much to read tonight. I shall write instead.
I had a dream last night. One of those dreams that felt so real, when I woke up it felt as if I hadn’t slept it all. It was so real that I hadn’t even realized I had gone to bed.
I was sitting on the computer scrolling through Facebook. Then I looked down at my phone and saw that I had received a text message. I...
“You turned your back on tomorrow ‘cause you forgot yesterday. I gave you...”
– Maroon 5 - Payphone
I should explain this… Eh, it speaks for itself.
No One
…no one, absolutely no one. I have these moments when I’m scrolling through my phonebook looking for someone to call or text. Then I give up after I’ve gone through enough names and realize I’m not going to bother contacting anyone.
I remember a time when I could easily call and talk to someone to make me feel better. Now I just don’t feel that anymore. It’s...
