Awww sheittt...

A cold sense panic washes over you as beads of sweat starts forming around your forehead. Your surroundings seem to swirl around you in a light blur as you frantically look around you. Your pulse is racing, your heart is thumping and the adrenalin is rushing through your veins.


'FUUUUU**', you think.

'WHERE DID I LEAVE IT?'

As you continue to frantically search for your missing item, it's nowhere to be seen and you try to recollect when you last saw it. But you don't have a single clue.

.........................................................................................................................................................

Does that moment ever happen to you?

Because it happens to me all the time, like the time I thought I lost my mobile.

Also the time I thought I lost the price list of clothes at work.

Anyways, my work is reputedly the easiest job out there where I just have to endure the hardships of walking two minutes from home to the local shopping centre, then sitting for another 8.5 hours in front of the computer where I go on Facebook, go on Tetris and do some homework. Occassionally, people do come in and buy stuff but most of the time I'm extremely free.

This would be one of those times, but I just had that moment where I thought I lost something at work and freak out because it's only me and the boss who work here ... so it's extremely obvious when I fuck up.

(Like the time I stepped on a shelf and broke it)

Shh. The name of the store will now remain anonymous (but it is of a very trendy nature).

.........................................................................................................................................................

And onto the second topic of the day.... publicly stacking it...

I don't usually see it happen to other people but I experience it on an almost daily basis.

For the inexperienced, it's probably awkward and you feel embarassed right?

I think I take it that step further of awkwardness when I start laughing to myself after and walk off as if it didn't happen

What is the smoootthest way to respond to this situation?

H8 LYF BRO

Lately I've just been studying all day and night, days on end without doing anything else.

Leads to emotional and physical deterioration because I end up feeling like this everyday:
















At some point or another I'll stop procrastinating on TetrisBattle (because in Tetris, there is no time for friendship so screw you TetrisFriends, no).

For the meantime, I'll continue listening to this:

Relevance only remains until the part where he doesn't give a fuck

I DONT GIVE A CHAINSAWWWW (watch the video to understand)

No time for blogging anymore though I've had so much time (procrastination time) to think about interesting topics

Things I envy (sort of)..

Just a note, I haven't written here for ageeeeeeees and mostly I felt inspired to write because I creepily stalked someone else's blog and thought .. Oh cool, I should update mine too. (Little does this person know).

Anyways, this is a general list of things that I wish I had (or more just in general things I lack):

1) Body heat
In winter, my hands and feet and whole body is like a giant frozen ice block. I don't get how other people can still wear shorts/skirts/short sleeved shirts or go clubbing in some super skanky outfit. I am forced to wear at least 3 layers (the outer layer being a fobby snow jacket). I walk to uni in the morning and seriously do not see anyone wearing more than me...........
This is what I imagined myself wearing..
That's what I wear...
2) A sense of humor
I'm pretty glad I'm not a guy, or else I'd never get girls with my amazing sense of humor.......
i.e. "Hey want some Sprite?" ........ "Jokes it's water"












3) People who don't get Asian flush
"What do you mean I've been drinking?"














4) A mysterious, cool aura
Like those people who just seem so stoned yet alluring with their mysterious personality. How do they get such a ceebs-to-talk-to-you-cause-I'm-too-cool confidence from?

5) People who can stay awake during sleepovers
At every camp, even when I try to stay awake I just HAVE to fall asleep. I'm like that kid who's asleep in the corner whilst everyone's having a mad D&M sesh. ZZZZZZZ coffeeeeeeeee

To be added to....... when I think of more things.

A snapshot of one moment

Jane exhaled contently, feeling the breeze against her face as the gentle hum of the motor formed part of the background noise. She felt straight out of a movie, feeling so carefree without a single worry in the world. For now, she just wanted to put down all the problems of the world and enjoy the moment in front of her.

The gentle sunset set up a perfect scene as the car continued driving up the hill. The sight of illuminated lights in the distance, Jane admired the beauty of such simplicity. Maybe others drove past this scene everyday without ever looking beyond the motorway. An unnoticed beauty amongst the dense concentration of factory buildings.

Sometimes, she felt it was moments like this that she could think back to. When she felt so comfortable being herself, away from everyone else. Away from the harsh realities.. She let herself dream of all the possibilities.

What would it feel like to step out of her daily routine. What would it feel like being someone else for a day, or just be somewhere else in the world.

Create

What's an ideal like?

Step 1: Choose a physique
Muscular/lean, tall/short, long hair/short hair, fringe/no fringe, cute smile/sexy smirk..

Step 2: Add a colour
White, black, yellow, pink.. endless possibility

Step 3: Add a personality
Nice/dickhead, gangster/good, likes sport/likes gaming, sociable/quiet, confident/shy

Out of a shadow of a person, create someone based on fragments of distorted knowledge.
Just like a faceless silhouette, you're now an idealisation.

entertainment purposes

I've never personally experienced the feeling of 'Hsc is the best year ever... especially with your year group being the only one you'll ever have to spend 6 years with....' rahrahrah feeling yet :P I find that just a load of bull, hsc is not exactly the best year ever! And here is why:

1. Sleeping over 8 hours is almost impossible.... Unless you are cutting into the expense of study time.
2. Everything you do that isn't study will make you feel guilty
3. You do the shit anyways, so now you are constantly guilty
4. The 'fun' in your life now consists of eating, watching an offensive amount of online videos and sleeping
5. Things that never interested you before are now distracting you... Purely for procrastination like reading facebook groups and liking them
6. You either always eat because that means 'break time' or you routinely check the fridge for possible food
7. Having 'a life' seems like a while ago
8. Your best friend is your 4unit text book
9. Your real best friend is actually ... Your calculator
10. You know you're getting pretty fat
11. You feel stressed all the time
12. If you don't feel stressed, you feel guilty
13. If you feel neither, you feel strange about not feeling anything
14. The people of the opposite gender seem somewhat more attractive , even though you know they're actually not hot

and my personal fave past time:

15. I create scenarios in my head to entertain myself.

;) toodles. Time to sleep

The obssession with love

Many people have an obsession with love, or what they believe to be love. Some search for the prince charming, some look for a soul mate, some seek someone else who may complete them. But is this entirely possible? And if so, what is the magic answer to finding this so called 'the one'?

Unfortunately, I don't think 'the one' just pops out in front of you, just like that. There is no secret formula for procuring someone who exactly fits your tastes , and hey let's admit it maybe you're not exactly what someone else had in mind anyways (yes, that starcraft addiction, or constant drama watching may not be the most attractive quality)... But luckily, if you are patient, you may possibly find someone that will like you.

After that, life is easy! Cruising through, dating, no hassle... Right?

Wrong!

Even when you've got lucky, found yourself a nice boy/girl who has an interest in you, you are now faced with maintaining a level of interest in each other that might possibly land you in a relationship. On this path of true love, nothing can stop you from wanting this person, thinking about them, being a helpless romantic and acting like a fool... All because you're in loooooveee! Yes!! Finally!

So, here goes the big moment.

"So uh.. do you wanna be my girlfriend?" you ask. She blushes slightly, looking away shyly at first .. But then smilingly, she nods her head. "Yes", she whispers.

YESSSS screams your head. You are delirious, you've found her, caught her, hook, line and sinker! Only awesomeness from now, yes?

No.

You, my keen player, in this game of love, is only cruising through 'free parking' in Monopoly. Nothing could be better! You guys are going out holding hands, maybe even a little smoochy smoochy.

Nothing ever goes wrong in this period, until the 'Go directly to jail, do not pass GO' card smacks you in the face. Fast forward 6 months, 1 year. 2 years if you're lucky when the original sparks have died down, and you guys are used to each other.

She no longer makes you excited. That starcraft addiction never really died, and you wouldn't mind playing it instead of going on a date. Everything seems only ordinary, and disagreements are no longer an "occassional" thing.

You are stuck in the abyss of normality that you cannot escape from. You don't feel a particular tendency to want to change it either.

This my friend, is the time you should reflect back on your original intentions, aspirations, hope... Or possibly even love.

Ask yourself. Do you really love her?

1. Do you honestly care for her?
2. Does your heart ache when you hear shes sad?
3. Do you stil feell warm or happy when she smiles at you?
4. Do you still feel the enthusiasm you did for her at the start?
5. Do you think about whats good for her, and not you?
6. Would you give up doing the things, or talking to the people that she doesn't want you to, just to make her happy.
7. Was she worth your last (however long you've been dating) days?
8. Do you ever regret getting together with her?
9. Do you even need to ponder on these questions
10. Can you live without her?

If you're hesitating, maybe your should reconsider whether you really love this girl despite all the time you've spent with her.

Because to me, a love that is selfless, unbreakable and yielding despite the hardest times is one that is worthy of my time and dedication. I say, if you cannot dedicate yourself to me, I cannot do the same to you.

Love is pure, but when muddied by intentions that darken the waters... Such as selfishness, greedyness, jealously, lust for lust's sake... The love is tainted and no longer pure.

Love for the sake of loving. Hurt may be inevitable, maybe it'll take a few times to find your one.

But when you do, I hope you can hold on and be brave, and not give up at slight hiccups along the way. Only when you have faith may you begin to truely love and appreciate someone.

PS. Sorry the end got corny. Clearly I got into a pondering rather than trying to entertain.

Jess (part 2)

He turned around, to be met with the familiar dark haired girl beaming at him with those unforgettable pearly whites.

'How have you been?' Jess asked, walking closer.

Pete felt his heart stop in it's tracks. Her face almost looked the same as the day she left, she was still smiling, still gorgeous. Except he couldn't deny that he felt his heart wrench for all the nights he spent alone missing her. Wishing she would be here.

Luck never seemed to be on his side though, as this moment he had so highly anticipated came at the worst possible time.

'WHY NOW?' screamed his head, raging at just his luck.

Again, Pete was knocked back into his senses with the laugher of the two girls.

'You know, Pete was always like this, just daydreaming all the time,' said Jess, speaking to Chloe.

'So how'd you deal with that? Look,he still looks stunned to see you. Should I be jelous?' laughed Chloe, looking at Pete.

Pete was dumbfounded. This was nothing like he had expected. Not the type of meeting, not the type of conversation. Where was the bitchfighting and hairpulling over him? Instead, his two loved ones were now joking about him.

'I'm still here you know,' grunted Pete in dismay. His perfect day now felt ruined.

Chloe laughed once more whilst saying,'Babe, we should check in for our plane,' gently.

Pete nodded dumbly, acting like a complete stoner. Despite him having so much to say to Jess, so many questions, so much emotion, right now... all he felt was nothing.

He couldn't find the right words for anything, so instead, he just briefly mumbled to Jess saying "Nice to see you again" before starting to walk off.

It wasn't before Jess got the upper hand once again, as she quickly slipped him a note in his palm.

"Don't forget to call!" she shouted as he already started walking away.

..................................................................................

During the whole plane ride, Pete kept thinking about the stupid meeting that he just had with Jess.

He felt so stupid, just standing there doing nothing. He felt like he had just stepped back into the shoes of the high-school boy he had once been, shy, quiet and unnoticed.

Chloe was asleep next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

There was another 6 hours on the plane, and with nothing to do, Pete knew that his thoughts would eventually trail back to the dark-haired girl who was once his life.

Opening the scrunched up piece of paper, it only read, '0423 193 013'.

Assuming that was her number, he felt annoyed.

'Could she just summon me to contact her whenever it pleases her?' he thought angrily.

No. He refused.

He chucked the piece of paper into his bag and decided to stop thinking.

Closing his eyes, Pete counted fat sheep in his head until he eventually fell asleep.

....................................................................

[Meanwhile]

Jess left the airport, flustered after seeing her old high school best friend.

Despite his new haircut, change of fashion and girlfriend... even seeing him for that moment and even recognising him seemed to bring back memories of their past.

His girlfriend, Chloe (was that her name? She thought) was gorgeous. She was very bubbly and pretty, but even so, she felt that her prescence had been unwelcomed. By both of them.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her name called out.

"Jess!", greeted Logan, pulling her into a tight hug.

His strong, mucular arms pulled her into a tight bear hug.

"I've missed you so much!" he said, whilst continuing his attack.

"Agh your suffocating me," she managed.

Stupid Logan, never changing, she thought jokingly.

"I swear you're going to kill me one day like this! Stop thinking you're still that little skinny 15 year old! " she said.

"Sorry J," he said, laughing.

He took her bags and motioned her towards his car.

"Let's get you home," he said warmly.

...................................................................


"0423 193 013", he typed into the handset.

Yep, he was so going to be doomed for this. Yet he could not help himself from discovering what happened all those years either.

"You will regret this Pete", warned his head.

Taking a deep breath in, he pressed dial.

Brring Brring.

No response. That's okay, one call. It probably hasn't even connected yet.

Brring Brring.

Ok, ok. Are you ready? Any second now.

Brring Brring.

Any second now. For real.

Brring Brr-

"Sorry, the number you have dialled is switched off or unavailable. Please leave your number, or try again".

WTF?


He had to admit, he could feel the adrenalin pumping whilst anticipating her picking up. But almost as if he knew it was too good to be true, she didn't pick up.

Well did she ever?

Here he was, standing in the bathroom of the hotel dialling the number of a girl he used to love whilst Chloe was waiting outside for him. He felt definitely like that high-school boy again, except this time he also felt guilty because he knew he still had feelings.

"I hate girls," he sighed before walking back outside to his girlfriend.

Jess




As Pete was packing away the cluttered belongings in his room into cardboard boxes, he came across an old photo now covered with dust. Blowing off the evidence of the time that has passed by, Pete looked at the two smiling faces in the photo. The girl was smiling cheerily, showing off her pearly whites and her black hair gleamed in the sun. The boy on the other hand smiled with his mouth closed, leaning his head slightly towards hers. They had been the best of friends, sharing important moments of their lives with each other.

Pete fingered the large crease in the photo, bringing him back into his old school, where the phoo had been taken during their graduation.

'Omg Pete just give me a smile!' she had said, nudging him playfully with her shoulder.

'What's there to smile about?' he replied grumpily, sulking about the fact that graduation only meant it was 1 week until Jess would go to America for university.

With his finncial situation, he knew the likelihood of visiting her would be close to nil.

Caving into Jess's bubbly smile, Pete smiled grudingly whilst she happily snapped away on her camera.

'I'm gonna miss you sooooo much!' she had said, putting emphasis on how much she would miss him.

He rememebered the way she locked her arm around his, so naturally... So instinctively.

'Yeah, miss me my ass.' scoffed Pete bitterly as he threw the photo carelessly to the floor.

'The bitch didn't even bother to contact me once, once she left.' he thought angrily, feeling the familiar rush of hot anger and cold realisation that she didn't care about him.

He waited 3 years for her.

3 years of staying in this hole. Staying local whilst everyone else moved on to do greater things. Yet he was still here, like a fool, waiting hopelessly for her to return, or at least contact him.

'Not a fool anymore', he thought, as he continued packing to move to Sydney.

From the side of his vision, the photo seemed to burn a hole through the floor, drawing all the attention from him. He felt guilty for pretending that he didn't care, but he didn't want to feel the pain. He didn't want to feel lonely anymore.

He walked over to pick up the photo once more, holding it close to his heart.

'Girls are seriously all bitches,' he thought bitterly whilst still holding the photo fondly.

He felt so confused, so betrayed. So torn between how he felt, and what she had meant to him.

'Why did I love her for this long? Why did I waste all those stupid years moping over her when she clearly did not reciprocate?' he kept thinking.

He felt disgust and annoyance at both himself and Jess.

He no longer wanted to feel like a miserable wreck, a pathetic boy who had a high school crush.

'No, it was all her fault', reasoned his head, dismissing any remnants of care for her.

It was all her fault...

..................................................................................

2 years later

..................................................................................

Pete was laughing happily with his girlfriend Chloe, walking hand in hand into the airport to celebrate their one year anniversary.

'Babe, I love you so much,' she said, smiling.

Pete felt absolute bliss. This girl was perfect and everything he had wanted, and now they were about to go on a holiday together.

There could be nothing better.

"Hey Pete", came a voice from behind.

The silky smooth voice, one that he could never forget.

"Babe, there's a girl calling for you," said Chloe.

He turned around, to be met with the familiar dark haired girl beaming at him with those unforgettable pearly whites.


'How have you been?' Jess asked, walking closer.

PMS


Ever feel like this tacky plastic tiara?
One girl, one guy, perfect relationship? I think not!

For the girls...
How many times have you wished that the 'perfect guy' would magically appear in front of you, sweeping you helplessly off your feet into his strong arms. And how many times do you wish this perfect guy to be handsome yet smart, sweet yet sexy, who must fufill all the requirements of being a gentlemen yet taking initiative in the relationship? Of course, he will love only you, look only at you and no other women, buy you presents on all the occassions and also surprise you when you least expect with little gestures or gifts?

Now... what must you do in the relationship?

Of course, absoultely nothing except look beautiful and wait for all everything to come to you. If you are the romantic, maybe you can chuck in a few love letters but certainly not pay for him, because... that's the guys job! As well as protecting you and acting manly.

Maybe if you are like this, or less exaggerated, you have in fact PMS. Princess Malnutrition Syndrome.

And for the guys...
Now your girlfriend or partner is acting grumpy. Yep, it must certainly be that time of the month. P.M.S.
Yes, it certainly is that 'time of the month', but no I do not mean the female menstruation cycle. It is the time when men should buy all their princesses presents, or act extra nicer, just because.... well you are men.

Just like you feed your dogs and cats, you should now allocate a part of your monthly, weekly or better yet, daily earnings to feed your princess everything that she needs to be the bright, beautiful, bubbly girl that she deserves to be.

How much you say? Or wait, you are just another blundering high school student who does not have a job yet and is just facing the many stresses of the HSC?

Sadly, you are still not exempt. If you do not have the money, no fear! You may always resort to:

a) Finding money off the ground, to 99% no avail
b) Saving your lunch money, yes that $7.50 that you may spend at the canteen is now not yours anymore
c) Sell your video games for that extra bit of cash.
d) Sell your soul

... in order to please that lovely princess of yours.

And how may you sell your soul?

Why, simply sign up for a beautiful, sweet, romantic love today ;)

AN: Idealism is stupid. Read the Great Gatsby for an example.

A journey home

The slimy mud stuck onto his shoes, staining dark patches against his off white shoes.


Puddles were scattered across the pathway, with last nights rainfall leaving a slick residue of water across the sleek concrete. Fallen leaves and small, scrawny twigs intertwined together in the puddles, forming a mess of intangible slop.


Gerald trudged along aimlessly, occassionally looking behind him to check if anyone was following him. Only the shadows loomed across the road, covering the natural moonlight. He hadn't realised it had gotten so late, spending his nights studying in the library. As he walked home, the chilling wind whipped relentlessly against his face, boring holes into his skin. He shifted uncomfortably in his overcoat, making a feeble attempt to retain his warmth.



The road home was dark and desolate, with no one else sharing his journey but his shadow. The occassional car drove past quickly to return to their safe sanctuary of home. The feeling of uncertainty creeped up on Gerald as if tapping him gently on the shoulder. Gerald looked around once more, but was again met with nothing. Only the sound of his wet footsteps echoed against the ground, providing him some reassurance that he was indeed walking home.



As he passed the canopy of trees that had previously blocked out all light, he saw the moonlight shining ephemerally into the street. He felt eerie, yet serene. There was a calming effect about the moon that he did not understand, as he momentarily pondered what could be happening exactly at that moment somewhere else, somewhere where the moon was also shining.


Gerald's body stiffened, sensing as though there was somebody walking behind him. He could not hear footsteps, and looking back, all he could see was the dark, dense shrubbery. 


He shrugged off his uneasyness, focusing his thoughts on a completely different matter.

What should he do for his mothers 75th birthday? Why was that woman even alive for that matter? All she seemed to do was drone on about old news and politics, smelling like decayed sandalwood and cheese. He never wanted to visit her, her house was old and creaky and needed a new plumbing system.

Scoffing at his previous paranoia, Gerald smirked at his thought that nothing could be scarier than spending extended periods of time with his mum.

Gerald felt a chill pass through him that seemed to steal his confidence away, as once again he realised he was still alone on the dark road. Walking home now felt like a lifetime, and the feeling of paranoia crept back into him.

Goosebumps formed on the back of his neck. 'I swear I can feel something following me', he thought panicking. Yet at the same time did not want to look around again in case he saw whatever it was, or yet, nothing once again.

Just as he thought he heard a shuffle come closer towards him, Gerald saw his familiar driveway that installed a sense of ease. He made a light run for the door, and fumbled with his keys madly to get in.

Phew.

Opening the door, he was greeted with momentary darkness before he turned on all the lights, making sure there was nothing there. Whatever could there be?

After half an hour, Gerald had settled down, feeling silly for causing such an internal commotion.

With his microwaved tv-dinner in hand, he made his way into the lounge room to relax, even for a little while.

It was not until he had finished his meal and returned to the lounge room that he noticed it.

The faint shuffling noise once again... Though he could not tell where it was coming from.

First time for everything

Jamie felt the familiar burn of the liquid, forming a slithering trail of warmth inside her go down her throat. The thought of its rancid taste was long gone… how long exactly? She thought. She wasn’t sure. Maybe it was a month ago… or was it a year?
How long has it been since he left her?
The thought of his smiling face, her brushing her fingers through his coarse, curly brown hair came into her mind. She felt something wet drip against her face.
Wait no, that’s tears, she noticed, scoffing gently.
If only he saw how pathetic she looked right now, would he come back? Would he feel sorry for me? Spoke her thoughts, forming a troubled cloud above her head.
NO, yelled the other voice. YOU MUSN’T GIVE IN.
She didn’t want to feel pathetic; she didn’t want to just wallow in her sorrows by drinking. She knew that this would lead nowhere.
But where is somewhere? What do you even want to do? What is left?
She had to keep up this fight, every moment, every second until she knew she would be safe from his memory.
‘Jamie, you’re beautiful’ echoed his voice, seeping back into her mind.
‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?’ she screamed, flailing her arms in the air helplessly, letting herself fall into the trap.
Jamie forgot now, about the fight. She forgot about how only moments ago, she had warned herself against feeling like this.
Tears trailed endlessly against her face, no longer inducing any reaction from Jamie.
The buzz was building up, she could feel it.
She could feel the blurring of her surroundings, as she left all hope of sanity, of control.
‘Matt, I miss you’ she whispered, before falling asleep, leaving this world behind even if it’s only for a short while.

K for Kissing

Her screams echoed in the lonely room as he tugged viciously at her hair.
"Just fucking take it, you bloody slut. You're not worth a shit," he spat at her.
Tears streamed from her eyes, staining her pale skin. Her skin was marked in a kaledioscope of colours... black, blue and red.
Katrina made no attempts to fight back, nor even respond. She was paid for it, right?
In such a world, who would care for a 'bloody slut' like her?
She didn't think if she died that anybody would even cry for her.
A laugh escaped from her mouth as she remembered what her mum had told her the night before she decided to jump off that building, right in front of her very eyes.
'You make me proud now Kat, don't follow me,' she had said, tears rolling from her face.
Why the fuck were all the men in the world such assholes?
Why had her father cheated on her mother like that?
Why did her mother have to leave her alone in a world like this?
'What's so funny little shit? You like it rough don't ya? Don't pretend you're so innocent,' he said, continuing his own act of pleasure.
'Are you proud of me mum?' thought Katrina. 'You all made me live like this.'
'You can see me now can't you? I hope you're proud of your little daughter.'


She had been a happy, joyful girl before everything crashed at her feet. Living in a world full of glittery hope, she had big things going for her. She grew up with all the toys she wanted, with the loving smiles of her parents.
At what point had it gotten so bad? Or was it always like that, but she was unaware because she was so happy herself?
Had she ever looked at the early signs, when her dad stopped attending the family parties? When he stopped coming home for dinner, because he had 'work'?
She had never even doubted him, after all, he must be working hard if she recieved a new car for her birthdays, right?

She didn't know that working hard had meant cheating on his mum with the fucking secretary.
'If I find that slut, I will definitely kill her,' she thought.

The man, whose name she didn't even know finished off and chucked a couple of bills on the bed.
'Here,' he said, back turned to her. 'What you love best, apart from sucking cock.'

How wrong he was. She hated having to lower herself to such a position, it was both uncomfortable, unfufilling, and everything that the bloody skank would've done to her father. And anything that they shared in common disgusted Katrina even more than the disgusting male figure, who was now proceeding to the shower.

'Fuck you bastard,' she yelled after him, picking up the scrunched up bills.

'Hah, so this is what your worth..' jeered the voice in her head.

Even she hated herself. Who would like her?

She walked over to the mirror, eyes now swollen, skin bruised, hair drenched in sweat and tears. There was nothing attractive about her, no remnants of the girl she had once been.
Her dark shining hair had lost it's lustre, now tangled and oily. Her perfectly manicured nails were now dirty and chipped.

What once was a woman at her peak, quickly fell into the wrong hands, which went into the wrong places.

Things she never knew, things she could never even fear happened.

She felt dirty, used, and violated.

By her father, her mother, and the nameless men that used her for sex. The men who needed to get their own power-fix, or to get away from their bossy-homes and instead spend their night with a whore. The unfaithful never seemed to have enough.

'Why has everyone forsaken me?'

The hum of the shower running, with the man humming an outdated tune that had been played too many times.

Buzz. Buzz.

No caller ID.

'What?' said Katrina, not in the mood for anything.

'Kat, we've got another job for you,' cooed the sugary sweet voice, which could only mean her pimp wanting to sell her to other men.

'How many should I fuck a night ay? Haven't I done enough? You're a dictator, you know?' she answered.

The sugary voice laughed, 'What do you know slut? Do you want it or not? He's offering a high price, and there's many others who're willing.'

Katrina sighed, still holding onto the bills in her hand.

'Text me the address,' she said, before hanging up.

She didn't even have time to shower or get ready, but who the fuck cares? Showers weren't going to fix the constant grime she felt, oozing from the inside out.

Her phone beeped, and the address was located in the rich part of town.

'Haa,' she thought.

Another rich business man wanting to fuck, cheating on his wife and his family. Exactly the type of man she hated. The type of man her father was... or still is. Who knows? She hadn't seen him since her mother's suicide.

Arriving outside the mansion, Katrina scoffed.
It reminded her of where she used to live... before... 'that' happened.
Standing outside the gates, she wondered how she was meant to get in at 3am.
She buzzed the door once, in case she woke up the unknowing family.

A voice whispered through the intercom, 'hold on, I'll come get you'.

So, it was really one of those cheating men.

She saw a dim light out the front, followed by a silhouette walking out the door. His face was obscured by the shadow, but he motioned for her to walk in and follow him.

He led her inside a large house, though the details were hard to see through the dark.

'Try not to wake the wife, she wouldn't like you here,' he whispered, laughing quietly.

Katrina felt her blood boiling, like she really wanted to smash his head with one of his fancy, expensive vases, but self-restraint got the better of her.

They took a couple more turns, before he dragged her into one of the rooms and pinned her onto the wall, kissing her neck passionately.

'You're so beautiful,' he said, in between the kisses.

When he looked up into her eyes, Katrina recognised them at once. Hers. His face. His body. Everything. Katrina froze, a renching feeling gripping her. She felt like throwing up right there, on his face. On him.

All these years, this is how they meet.

'What's wrong babe?' he said, stopping his attack.

'So this is how he does it,' she thought.

Disgust seeped through every cell in her body. She had no idea how to react. The urge to kill someone in her life had never been so strong. Her fists clenched tightly into two balls.

So many thoughts ran through her head.

She wanted to scream out, 'You don't recognise your fucking daughter you assholemotherfucker-'

'You don't look so good,' he said, kindly enough.

'Uh..' she managed to choke out, whilst her head was still reeling with expletives.

Short snippets

She was long past her expiry date. Her skin was no longer young, the age visible in her eyes along with the dark smudged eyeliner. Her fake plasticy face was no longer an object of desire, but instead passerbys looked at her with disgust and pity.
She was no longer beautiful, no longer the bronzed beach babe. Her skin had given in to the years of intense tanning, and the wrinkles and freckles covered her skin.
Age never seemed to be a problem for her. She HAD BEEN young, carefree and beautiful. But it was these easy years of drinking, partying around and drug use that had eaten away at her, welcoming in the age to chip away at her beauty.
As she sat in the middle of the crowded bus, a can of Bourbon in one hand and a cigarette on the other, she felt her life slowly dissolving from her with each puff of smoke.

stuck in time; just one moment

note: im writing this in bed
there are moments in our life that are insignificant, and pass us by quickly without us even thinking about it twice. It isnt until someone brings it up that you might remember it.
Then there are those significant moments in life, that might've made a really big impact in your life, or that you thought were great and held on to.
What type of person are you? Are you living in the past or the present ?
I have always been the type of person that holds onto memories (my excuse is cause im sentimental), but what i find is that alot of the time i am living in the past, and i feel a need to compete with myself to form better memories in order to feel achieved. (maybe you think im crazy)
but i realised, that i always am living in my own shadow.
Whcih moment do you linger on ?
For a long time, i couldn't drop my memories of primary school, until something happened that i thought was better... And then i kept that in my mind as what the idea of 'fun' was.
It really reflects upon the way i live. Im the type of person, who as much as id like to deny, likes to hold on and preserve what i already have.
... Except ill probably never truely appreciate what i have at the time, until that moments past.

Point of this all: live in the present, enjoy each moment during it and not after.

A boy with depression.

It was a beautiful sunny day, blue skies with wipsy white clouds lining the sky. Everything seemed to be in a bright, cheerful mood. Even the people smiled more with the pleasing weather. It was the first spring day since three months of the dreary cold weather, although the remnants seem to linger at the shadows. The occassional gust of cold wind reminded us of what we are not to miss.
The only thing not happy seemed to be the one boy, standing alone at the bus stop. Face sullen, he kicked at the pebbles on the ground. 'Everyone seemed to happy, even the weather seemed to shout "HAPPY".' he thought.
Inside his head was another story. A dark, looming plethora of problems seemed to linger at the recesses of his mind, mingling with every aspect of his world.
Nothing seemed normal to him. Countless therapy sessions, talks with his mum and chats with his best friend seemed to do nothing.
A momentary happiness would fight the dark shadows, passing a day without thinking about it. Sometimes, it would only last a few hours. But deep down, he knew that the silence would creep into his soul, stealing the light from inside him.
The shadows were not impatient either. Sometimes, they would let him have a whole week of harmony before slowly seeping back in. Just when he thought he was imagining it all, the darkness would slowly come back. Torment him. Tease him. Reminding him that they were always there in his mind.
No matter how hard he tried to "think past it" or try to change his perspective, none of the things that other people said seemed to work. His own mind had outwitted him, knew all the shortcuts to the game. Everytime he thought around it, so had his mind.

what if..

imagine if we lived in a mute world. no speech. no sounds. only actions.

how different would everything be?

how would we percieve everything?

mm just a thought :)

a beginning of a story

The darm stork clouds were looming in the horizon, slowly devouring what was once a patchless blue sky. Tall grey skyscrapers stretched across the city, casting a shadow amongst the citydwellers. People seemed to bustle about hurriedly, like a swarm of ants in a grass field. Everybody seemed to be unaware of the storm brewing closer towards the city. Businessmen talked on their mobile phones, consumed by their careers. Schoolkids congregated in packs outside 7/11 waiting for their friends whilst talking animatedly. The occassional tourist walked around, seemingly out of place, dressed in slightly unfashionable clothing with a look of amazement on their face.
There was only one person who seemed to notice the dark gathering mass in the distance.
Sandra flicked her jet black hair back, eyeing the cloud suspiciously. There was something strange, she thought. It just didn't feel right, yet she was unsure why. Putting on her heavy backpack, she walked towards the familiar green and orange sign. All her friends were already standing outside waiting for her, and she couldn't help but feel a little joy.
"Hey Sandra, what took you so long?" asked Tanya impatiently. "Uhh, nothing. Just late," replied Sandra.
