No Longer Afraid

When I was younger, I used to be afraid.
I feared the dark.
I feared the monsters under my bed.
I feared the skeletons hiding in the closet.

But now, I fear nothing.
For there is darkness within me which I have learned to love.
For the monsters I see, they appear human wearing their facades.
For the skeletons who no longer hide, but sing to me in the night.

I am no longer afraid of what I can finally accept.

We all have our horrors and our demons to fight.

You can’t really tell if a person is okay just by looking at them. Some people are better at hiding their pain than others;
If someone is crying and trying really hard to hide the fact that they’re in pain, it may be best to just pretend that you don’t see it happening.

Life’s Reminders

Nothing’s worse than when life needs to remind you that it is fragile.

I was happily just throwing my life around when my father was diagnosed. I realised I could do better, that I had to do better.

I was still not taking things seriously when my mother had a stroke. I was in denial for quite sometime… and then I broke. It was hard to get back into that working form but I tried.

Now life almost stole my father from me. And I knew that I have to really make a difference now.

Fickle Creatures

It’s a little bit funny, the way humans work. They ask for something and when they get it, they don’t want it anymore. It’s like they say, “You got what you wanted but you lost what you had.”

People have been telling me to shut up my entire life, and when I did, they ask why I wouldn’t talk. Honestly, humans are such fickle creatures; they should learn to think before they ask, but then again, it’s not like as if I wasn’t asking for it right? It’s a queer thing when you ask for silence and once you get it, it drives you absolutely insane.
