too short

..the calm left just as soon as it came. How come it’s never enough? I’ve been trying to convince it to stay, but it never has. And it always leaves me wanting more. More quiet, more of this, this laying still in the midst of an unfair universe.

Hi

It’s nine o’clock on a sunday morning and we’ve been awake for an hour(talking about things we’d really rather not talk about on a day like today). We were still in bed though. I asked the Mister to go to the market to buy me some coconuts. He starts getting dressed after a few more [...]

It was nice to see everyone I used to work so closely with. It was even [...]

Housekeeping Duties

Considering that I lived in a 24sq.m studio apartment in college (five years), my present apartment is huge. It’s a two-bedroom deal with a laundry room and two bathrooms (one in the master bedroom). It surprises me how much stuff I actually own when I have gotten rid of so much already. I recently had [...]
