My America
Look. I know this sounds sooper clichéd because it is literally the only thing that people are currently writing and talking about now, but here goes. My America. Strong and Liberal, Firm yet Comforting. Beautiful in every aspect. If I could, I would call it a Rainbow Nation. What is valued in My America? Equality … More My America
The Solitary Rose
She was taking a stroll through the deep forest. With pinpricks of light coming through the sparse gaps in the dense canopy, it was a little easier for her to navigate. She felt drowsy. It had started to feel like she was drowning in the darkness, surrounded by countless shrubs and tall trees. It was … More The Solitary Rose
Beauty in Simplicity
I sat in my balcony, listening to some light music. It had been a stressful day. I needed to clear my head, and put my focus elsewhere.
