“In all cases love was a strong emotion, not easily contained once it was unleashed. I realized now that love was like a blossoming flower that continually added more and more petals. But there was no end point. There was no full bloom. It went on forever. Growing, strengthening.”

Thinking Cap. I seem to be have been lacking in inspiration to bring out some creative juices. Kindly leave a message in my ask box for inspiration on where to go (places that are interesting and worth visiting), what to write, take photos and the like? (Up to you, really!) Or if you would rather, feel free to ask questions instead. :)

What happens if you fall in love with a writer? →
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or make love at four in the afternoon. They might not sleep at all. Or they might sleep right through the...

Jan 22nd
On a saturday night, there I was sitting on the couch located at the living room staring at my newly bought books and the empty Starbucks cup right next to it. I recalled glancing at the brown piano that was a couple of meters away from me.  The next thing I knew, I was seated infront of the piano, reaching out for the keys hesitantly. It has been months since I last touched the piano, or has it...

“Becoming a writer is about becoming conscious. When you’re conscious and writing from a place of insight and simplicity and real caring about the truth, you have the ability to throw the lights on for your reader. He or she will recognize his or her life and truth in what you say, in the pictures you have painted, and this decreases the terrible sense of isolation that we have all had too...

It’s our daily struggles that define us and bring out the best in us, and this lays down the foundation to continuously find fulfillment in what we do even when times get tough. Happiness comes...

“We’d said we’d keep in touch. But touch is not something you can keep; as soon as it’s gone, it’s gone. We should have said we’d keep in words, because they are all we can string between us—words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.” - David Levithan

To my leather journal, Your sheets are blank, unwritten, clean and fresh. The tip of my black pen is a few inches away from you. Why is that as it gets closer and closer to you, the thoughts in my head are suddenly a blur and my words slowly drift away. Mhmm, quite peculiar.
