    The Day Everything Changed

    One full year isolated from friends and loved ones. One full year out of work, out of school. One full year of faces hidden behind a collection of masks. One full year of life as we know it, thrown into complete disarray. Exactly a year ago when the world went into a standstill, locked down…

    Grey and Yellow

    2020 was life-changing, it was exceptionally challenging that I can’t even put in a good word. It was unremarkably heavy, a burdened weight unnecessarily shouldered for the past 10 months.

  • End Results.

    Our mind is a treacherous place. Trust is a fantasy. Monsters we have returned to. Malevolent we have become. We speak without knowing. We act without caution. We are selfish. A dark lore looms just above sanity; a sudden push might cease us to exist. Our epiphanies come to be catatonic. Everyday a catastrophic calamity…

  • Ideal vs. Real

    Those mental images, concepts, ideas of perfect… When we were young, we believed we had it all figured out. The ideal life, the ideal job, the ideal boyfriend, the ideal husband, the ideal house, the ideal car, the ideal family… You work at it, then life begins and you suddenly realize you got it all wrong.…
