Waiting, eagerly glued to the device which will deliver the news. Will it be everything you’ve ever hoped for? Or will the unthinkable occur and your dreams be crushed? To say it’s nerve-wrecking would be the understatement of the year. Waiting is the worst action humans have to do. We are not programmed to sit…
Anxiety
Anxiety knows no age, no gender. Anxiety doesn’t care for the time of day, nor the place. It comes and goes as it pleases, making grand entrances as it does. It fills up the room, demanding the attention it deserves. And who are we to refuse it? We are left captivated in its grasp, helplessly…
Restless
Laying down. Body slumped against the soft cushion of the sofa. Breathing. In, while her body expands gradually. And out, body shrinking back into the couch.

You slowly gain consciousness, remembering last night. You know you…
The Crossroads
Life is like a crossroads. When you get to it, you are momentarily frozen to the spot, unable to choose where to go next. But no road leads you to a dead end, not really. Every road you take becomes a part of you. Your breathe is the air moving in its path. Your soul…
#Addicted
Addiction. There’s a lot to say about it. Most are afraid to use it, as if it is a dirty word, used only to imply something bad.
