Little Things That Make Me Happy

The earthy scent when it rains. Beautiful sunsets. Sipping hot chocolate and reading a book. Flowers in bloom. Singing along to my favourite music. Warm hugs. A good hair day. A big bowl of popcorn and a good movie. Popping bubble wrap. Laughing till my stomach hurts. Binge-watching a TV show. Funny memes. Listening to a song…

The Sky

The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what’s happening up there. I spend a lot of time appreciating how beautiful the sky looks. So here are some photos I’ve taken. If you’re looking at a grey sky, don’t give up. Soon, the sky will be clear again…

Weeds In My Garden

The weeds in my garden are overgrown. I cut and cut but they keep popping up, What’s the point of these pruning tools anymore? I did not know that they were growing, flourishing in hues of green, red and blue. What else is my garden not showing? I rolled up my shirt sleeves and thought…

Him: Ice

There he sat, the head of the family. Always silencing her, telling her that her thoughts are insignificant. “Shut up” being flung across the room without even thinking about it.   Is power what he wants?
