Bio
I've noticed that when I follow the path I enjoy most, I often end up swimming upstream. So here I am, right in the middle of it – writing about it all and more. ♡

A Blank Canvas
The apartment now emptied of her stuff, Lina took a seat in her favourite spot. A dark moss-coloured armchair with pecan-brown detailing. Its high back giving all the needed support, and armrests so wide, which could steadily hold a cup of tea, made it perfect for Sunday reading sessions.

Little My
Rainy summer day. Little Cristal, in her red polka-dotted dress, shoulder-dances to the radio. My high blond pigtails bounce around my head as I click the final piece into a puzzle I've done a hundred times before. Yet, I still enjoy it just as much as the first time.

Tick-Tock
🕔 🕔 🕔 Second, minute, month, another year has gone by. There's no stopping time. 🕔 🕔 🕔 * Note: This haiku was inspired by a conversation with my sister. We were talking over coffee when we suddenly looked at each other, dumbfounded – our baby brother turned sixteen this year. I mean, we obviously know how old he is, but for some reason, that number hit us like a brick once we started picking it apart. We remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. Okay, maybe five years ago...at most. NOT SIXTEEN! (That math makes me older than I'd like) To us, he will always be the baby of the family. The baby who now rides and fixes dirt bikes for fun. The baby who solves a Rubik's Cube faster than I can find the end of cling film (excuse me – a week ago, you couldn't even hold a spoon.) The baby who is now taller than everyone else in the family. Okay, it's not much of a competition to be taller than me, but still, he's well over a head taller. When did this happen?

October 14th This is stupid. Why am I doing this? Yeah-yeah, I know, Dr. Parks said so. Well, she actually said that I should write down everything I’d tell you if you were still here.
