spring

winter passed and spring came.
she felt the warm rays of the sun,
awakening the strength within her
to blossom.

the nighttime caused her to be deep in thought,
while the daytime left her daydreaming.

4-word story

unapologetically, I will be.

peter pan

is it strange that i get jealous of a fictional character? to be able to stay young forever? sometimes i wish that could be so. being an adult makes you take on more responsibilities. i am already so overwhelmed and stressed with the responsibilities i myself take on. why must we be so stressed out? perhaps that is the thing about getting older. you learn that life isn't what you thought it was when you were younger. time changes people. sometimes for the better. sometimes not so good. but you realize that all those experiences you had, you wouldn't change or take back, because they brought you to the person you are at this very moment.

love

a few days ago, i sat on a bus going home and i noticed an elderly woman with pixie cut white hair and glasses looking out the window and blowing kisses to someone. i looked out and i saw an elderly man with white hair blowing kisses back to her. it was her husband.
i couldn't help but smile. moments later the elderly woman got out of her seat to go outside and give her husband a kiss.
isn't it beautiful that we get to grow old with another person? to be able to live life together, side by side, sticking through the good and bad times, knowing each other's flaws and mistakes yet choosing to love one another. that love isn't just a feeling, but a choice.

deep end

She has been in the shallows for so long because she is afraid to go to the deep end. But she casts that fear aside and takes her heart with her. For being in the shallowness limits oneself in what they can do.

blessings

We don't take the time to appreciate what we have until it's gone. Count your blessings. Take nothing for granted.
