A wild, wild world.
What would you rather have? A glazed piece of information or a fact? Sugarcoating or uprightness? When people say something that offends you, do you think about it? Do you start to ponder or do you simply let your own default thinking push it over and think they’re wrong. You say to assure yourself that they don’t know anything.. they don’t know you. Comfort thinking. Is it a...

My dad, myself and music.
I was 7. My dad would always play a CD. He would play it again.. and again. After a few days, another one. And a different one. When my dad wakes up, he plays one first. I wake up to that tune. When he comes home, he takes care of a few things while listening to one. Before we eat, he would turn the radio on or put on another track. And then I was 10. My mom calls me because we are about to go...

It made me throw up — second (after sweating) which I hate the most. I always thought, “Aw man. Do I have to go?” I guess you can say I made up my mind then. At seven, say “travel” and by...

My Alternate Universe: A Very Short Story
For some reason, thinking of Douglas Adams and his universe. I woke up to find out my Sunday was unbelievably free. I let this sink in.. but it doesn’t. It seems I cannot fathom the fact that I still get free days. Last Friday I woke up with a high anxiety level. I should have seen the hint of stress. It was the first time I’ve had a bad morning in months. That same week I have...
