Luna

I envy the moon
for she has hidden
her other side perfectly
that only the brave
would make an attempt
to seek the mystery.

But bravery isn’t enough
for the moon determines
a few deserving souls
to see her completely
naked, sincere, and whole.

I’m Brave (Not?)

Not friends, not enemies, just some strangers with some memories.

Every time I cut, color, or change the style of my hair, this particular man comes out of his house right when I’m about to pass the way. That particular man is my friend, or rather, was my friend. Coz now, we’re strangers. And I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or not. What I’m sure of, however, is that it’s really brave of me to share and publish this now. The first time I talked about someone so obviously (yes, it’s already obvious for me) that he would know it’s him. If only he reads this. Which I hope not.

Speaking of brave, I think it’s fair enough for girls to say that donating 8 inches of our hair for the benefit of children with cancer is a brave (and kind) thing to do. Which I did earlier, which prompt me to write this post. Now my hair falls right exactly at my collar bone. And I have to deal with it.

Like how I have to deal with what’s going on in my life right now, and all the drama hidden behind my eyes. I have to iron it out and at least straighten some of the curls. But there will be days when you just want to leave them be and be free. From all the heat and chemicals surrounding it. I hope the time comes when I have to worry less, if not anymore, and live life the way I want it to be.

Writing 101’s Task: Hook ’em with a quote.

P.S. Sorry I didn’t elaborate on the quote and my story. It just hurts so bad. Of course, I’m kidding. Also, the last paragraph speaks true for both my hair and my life. Maybe it also rings true to you. ☼

Wishes, Wishes on the Wall

I want to keep things short and straight. These are what came to mind after reading the Lucky Star prompt:

Today is your lucky day. You get three wishes, granted to you by The Daily Post. What are your three wishes and why?

1. Get paid while doing something that I actually like.

2. Be brave enough to do something that I can’t because I keep thinking of what others might say, or what a particular person might think of me.

3. Leave the country to explore, grow independently, and experience life the way I want it to be.

I’ve always thought of wishes as something that is unattainable. That’s why I rarely wish, I dream and pray instead. So right now I’m allowing you to call me stupid by listing down “wishes” that are, in reality, so much possible. I think all I need is a little more time, a dash of courage, and a pocketful of right decisions.
