Unwanted Catcalling

Wow, this is a tough topic to write about. Getting catcalled and/or harassed on the street is a terrible thing to go through, whether the person on the receiving end of this is a man or woman. No one should be treated like a piece of meat. Being preyed upon another person like this is…… Continue reading Unwanted Catcalling

How Often I Cry

Crying is a very natural and human reaction to have, although I have a built-up resistance to allowing myself to do it in front of other people. I always feel embarrassed whenever I cry in the presence of others, especially if I was working hard to not burst into tears but somehow the dam breaks…… Continue reading How Often I Cry

Favorite Childhood Picture Books

I have good memories of picture books I loved sooo much when I was little. I liked reading books under the “a Little Golden Book” collection. I never read every single one but had a few that I personally owned that I wore out the binding by opening them so often. Of course the allure…… Continue reading Favorite Childhood Picture Books

Putting Together Puzzles

A simple activity that I’m sad to say I don’t indulge in as much anymore in this day and age is working on jigsaw puzzles. I loved piecing them together when I was a kid. I especially enjoyed working on a challenging puzzle that had over a thousand pieces. I would always start out collecting…… Continue reading Putting Together Puzzles

Flying High

I imagine having wings might be like another set of hands or legs, except I’d be super clumsy with using them. If I suddenly sprouted a pair, it would be hard to adjust to the change of gaining appendages like that. Not to mention how many things I would bump into because of them, or…… Continue reading Flying High

A Feeling of Dread

Judging from the featured photo I chose to use for this post, you would think whatever I have to discuss today is terrifying and horrific. In a way, it is. Social anxiety sucks. Anxiety sucks. Having both at different intervals throughout my day to day life is more than just a hassle or a nuisance.…… Continue reading A Feeling of Dread

Waking Up

Awakening from sleep is the oddest sensation ever. At first, it’s like I’m unable to fully take in what is happening and only through slowly regaining awareness of my surroundings, I realize I am waking up. I sleep with my covers over me, so many times I’ve woken up thinking it’s still dark out until…… Continue reading Waking Up

Behind the Closed Door

A closed door doesn’t have to be a scary thing, but to me, it is because I don’t know what will be there when I open it. People say that when one door closes in your life, another one will open. When I get a new opportunity or chance, I still don’t want to open…… Continue reading Behind the Closed Door

Defining a Dictionary Word: Winterkill

For today’s exercise, the goal was to look up a random dictionary word and write about what the word means to me. I used this website and got the word “winterkill”, which means to kill something (such and plants or crops) by exposing it winter temperatures/conditions. The word itself was a dead giveaway for its…… Continue reading Defining a Dictionary Word: Winterkill

Playing a Card Game

I haven’t had the chance to play this card game in a while, but my favorite one to play in a group is Cheat. It’s known by other names, like BS (Bullshit). This game can be played with three or more people. I’ve heard there is a normal and harder version to this game, but…… Continue reading Playing a Card Game
