I am a Mess

Today, I wore a mint dress about 7 inch below my knee. I showcased a messy bun while washing a pan you used to cook our dinner. You suddenly looked at me for seconds straight, smiling, so I asked why. 'You're pretty' that's what you said and I asked why while laughing, you never answered, you continued staring, smiling. I blushed. I looked at my reflection in our mirror, noticing how messy my hair is, how huge the dress I was wearing. Yet, you love me. - 02/24/21

Our Rendezvous on the 15th

I t started with a few blank sheets of paper, wrote seven pages to be exact, time tore the pages, and all that is left are memories of that beautiful night we will never forget.  The night of August 15, 2018 A massive crowd surrounds us, the Sunday Night breeze appears fresh in my crust, but still, I found my heaven in your arms. Lights are everywhere. The clatter hurts the murmurs and the loud stereo meters away from us. While others enjoyed dancing to their content, we rekindled the night stabilizing ourselves in the seesaw. Abruptly, the loud stereo altered into our laughter. Though blinded and deafened by the scenery, intensity, and the flash of the lights, I still saw your smile, heard your laugh, caught glimpses of you. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I wished that night could stay the same way, so I never have to miss that moment, never have to miss how you made me feel.   W e went home with our hearts full. I gave you a bottle of rum, its fiesta, the hell with my di...

When Life Hits You

These past few days, my pregnancy hormones were so bad that I broke down crying just because my partner washed his clothes. I also cried feeling empty because our schedules wouldn't meet. He works on shifting schedules, he also studies different language and is currently focusing on giving us a better life while I, on the other hand have to be as healthy and strong as possible for our little one.  I stopped working which means he felt he carries all the responsibilities of starting a new family. I sleep, eat, wait for him to wake up, wait for him to report on duty, wait for him to come home, wait for him to finish his meal, and wait till he falls asleep. Oftentimes, he would ask about us. Tend to our needs without thinking about his own.  The bottomline is, he no longer have time for me. He was too busy reaching his dreams knowing he has a huge responsibility. I cried thinking that I wanted nothing but attention, the same attention he used to spoil me before.  We are appr...

Positivity

I see the need to create this blog knowing most of us are at home 24/7 with nothing to do but watch the news, afraid of the dangers of the outside, with high hopes that soon the pandemic will come to its end and; we can have all the time to meet our loved ones and then continue the small steps we took in reaching our dreams.  What frightened me is that I have read different articles claiming that the coronavirus generates more individuals who seek help for suffering depression that leads them to commit suicide. Well, people might say that we control what we have in mind. Still, we can't avoid the fact that what we saw on the news, what we heard every day, the cries, the loss, unemployment, missing close ties, and; our fear causes depression and anxiety.  There is not a day in my quarantine journey that I don't get the chance to open my messenger app and read messages from my close friends who are suffering from anxiety. Some of them still have their jobs during such time when ...
