I wake up, looking out the window. Mother’s day. Supposedly the day where we cherish the person who gives us life, who nurtured us, who made sure we had our needs tended to. I wonder how it is for others, to see one’s mother as a being of love, rather than a totem of fear. […]
I just lost my job, and I just ran out of groceries too. Damn. Out of all the things that I overplan, overthink, and overcompensate for, not having a job was definitely one of the things I should’ve planned a bit better. Why didn’t I think this would happen sooner than later? How many times […]
When Jack was a child, he had every need catered for by his parents; he had no need to worry about food, no need to worry about water, no need to worry about shelter. Viewed as privileged by some, he still played with the kids who struggled to find food, the kids who had no […]
Daniel gets to the radio station a few minutes late. He rubs his eyes, while running through a couple of excuses in his mind, knowing none of them would work.

I am no stranger to Death. In fact, the first death I’ve seen happened on our way back from the zoo. I had been asleep in the car, until I was woken up by people yelling and my brother frantically shaking me. I looked out and stared at a bright red car. It was hugging […]

On the right side, there’s a bookshelf lined with records, books, and figurines of all shapes and sizes. In the middle of the room was the […]
You’re walking around your neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon. It’s warm outside, with a little breeze. You have some light blue jeans on, with a black tee and a gray sweater. You decided to go on a walk after waking up at 12:30 pm. You have nothing to do, since you finished going through your […]
Imagine coming back to your house, apartment, or studio.
