Secrets
The moment I lost my son
There's a moment in every woman's life that getting pregnant is such a long awaited joy. Then you have females like myself who always said that marriage and kids are for another kind of person. I had so much against getting pregnant and even just dedicating my life to another person before I lived my life. Be careful what you wish for, the Universe/God, may just give you exactly what you ask for.

Living With Two Pathological Liars, I Learned to Distinguish the Truth
There is a taint of death, a flavor of mortality in lie. My roommates in college (where I took journalism courses in writing, reporting, and editing) spent their time backbiting and intriguing against each other. I breathed an air of plotting and slander during the first couple of days in their company and detested the two girls heartily.

Turns Out I'm a Little Bent
A visit to the eye doctor had me laughing! I was there for yet another type of eye test. This is the fourth or fifth visit. I've lost track, the doctor just can't figure out what is wrong with my eye. The lovely technician looking at photos of the veins in my eyes says,

Coming Out of the Closet as a Naturist
For long enough, I could remember, I wasn't really self-conscious about my body until I reach the age of 30. I was the keep-fit type throughout my youth, going to the gym and generally happy with the body I had. I wasn't the show-off type at the gym, flexing muscles in the mirror as a female walks by.

Guilt Condemned Me to Sleeplessness
Here is the mind, suffering from insomnia, not dead, and yet not alive. I suffered from sleeplessness and profound distress. My life hung limply over my shoulders, my eyes were red with reading and exhaustion, my face was wet with tears of desperation.

A Letter to Happiness
Dear Happiness, I hope wherever you are you are making people bloom. Cause that's what you did, you were an expert at making people feel giddy. Often at times, when misery surrounds me i think about you desperately. I look for you in past happy encounters with you written in my journal. Don't you worry, i have jotted down all our memories, I haven't forgotten a thing, and how can i? You were so nice to me. We were getting along so good. I would often see you around while riding my bicycle, or humming with birds, or while talking with plants while watering them. Don't you remember our little ice-cream dates? Or the time when i texted to my long lost school friend because you insisted? What i admired most was long walks taken with you. You would push me to smile like a joker while walking. Would force me to admire trees around , notice tiny flowers growing in bushes, few youngsters riding their bikes and showing off, you would often mock at them. All i didn't know what massive and important lessons you were tryna teach me.

Moments Series
I know it was wrong to run away from Landon that way, but I am so mortified. Not to mention, I have no idea how to tell him that I freaked out because I thought I saw my ex. I don’t know if I’m ready to open that can of worms. After getting a glass of water from the kitchen, more to have something to occupy my hands, I grab my purse that I dropped in the entryway in my haste to get away from Landon. That is when I notice his car is still parked at the curb. Taking a deep breath, I move closer to the front door and I can hear him talking to Gram, I never even noticed her sitting on the porch in my rush to get into the house.

"Why it's Important to Answer Truthfuly, If you Must Answer At all"
S “ WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY, IF YOU MUST ANSWER AT ALL” I actually don’t know if the idea was to accuse for a set number of years unbroken. At times, it looks like that to me. Some other times, I wonder if they are conducting research and I happened to be key player on that project. Maybe, they were trying to find out whether if they stretched A to the maximum non-stop, it would eventually becomes C not even ‘B’. A logically, easily can become B if pulled towards B, but it needs to cover grounds to get to ‘C’.

Back in Seattle
For four years, I carried a tired Moleskine notebook with me. Daily, I would flip through its pages, jotting notes for story ideas, and planning content for my website. As a writer, this notebook is my whole world. In reality, it might be my most prized possession.

An Ode to the Fall.
Dear Maya, I often ponder in the night and wonder cluelessly about your fable presence, and you would slowly gaze at my heart under the light of an evanescent moon. Such poise and a belle seldom makes the heart of a grown man ache in delight and render the mouths speechless. Even the quotes of ancient poets and philosophers fall short in words when they try to ink down what is merely an illusional boulevard. I wish I could color your Februaris with the petals of sunflower and soothe you with the trickles of a brook babbling away from the colds of December. You are an idea of a romance that every day my heart begets and with you, in my mind, I feel no animosity towards the time. The days will pass and the ink of this letter will fade but my heart will beat and the luster shall con all the glitters of the universe and the time thereon. Alas, the time of a romantic fool does sway, and all I want to ask if there is a meaning to our endless exuberant grey.
