Do you remember having imaginary friends as a kid? I don't. I don't remember having a need for them when I was growing up. However, now as an adult? Walking the lonely path to success? All I am thinking is, "Why not?" Why not create a conversation withing your mind, with the people you want to be, and the people you want to surround yourself with? Follow this tale, to see how, my imaginary friends are helping me to achieve success, and how, they can help you as well!

Carpe Diem! Hindi natin hawak ang bukas, hindi natin alam kung ano ang mangyayari at hindi natin alam baka bukas wala na ang lahat ng mayroon tayo o wala na tayo mismo. That is why we need to treasure every joyful moment for it may be the last. Ano ang kaya mong gawin para sa iyong pamilya, kaibigan at higit sa lahat ay sa iyong sarili? Sigurado ka ba na totoo ang mga ipinapakita ng mga taong nakapaligid sa iyo? O di naman kaya ay baka ikaw ang hindi totoo sa mga ipinapakita mo. Note: Ang drama! I just want to express the ideas that pops out of my head with the use of words. SOME CONTENT MAY TRIGGER SOMETHING. (Wala namang nagbabasa kaya ok lang haha)

Desmond 'Demy' Skies is a school alumni, and legend, but the kicker is... she hasn't even began school yet. Everyone knows her name, where she's from, and what she's done, but she seem to know absolutely nothing about them. She is such a legend because, she is a part of the first group of girls to be attending Welton School Academy. Although she was attending school with twelve other girls, none of them liked her, and she was more alone than ever. Maybe it was because of her wealth, her beauty, her popularity... either way, the girls want nothing to do with her. But the boys do. Especially the Dead Poet boys. Will she want to know them though? Time will only tell

i've been inspired to write poems, and this is where i've decided to post them. constructed criticism is welcomed, for i am very much far from perfect and i really would like to improve. began: 10/20/2020 finished:

Carpe that f*cking Diem

anything that has happened in your life view it as a dream so you can relive the moments and either make it different or better.

The first chapter has it all...

Ginny Connolly was the girl always left behind. At the young age of eight, she witnessed the car accident that took the lives of her whole family. Through the love and support of her extended family she learned to cope and become a cheerful woman. But, at the age of sixteen, her childhood sweetheart, Charlie Guthrie, left for the city promising to return for her someday. In return, he made her promise to wait for him. However, as soon as he departed, she never heard from him again. Despite that, she kept her promise, ignoring all the suitors interested in her. One of those suitors was her best friend, Liam MacDougal, the person who helped Ginny the most in coping with the death of her family. He ended up leaving her as well. Despite all these experiences, Ginny soldiered on, even becoming a pillar of the community. In fact, she was spreading her wings. Then, both Charlie and Liam came back turning her peaceful world into chaos.

This is a collection of poems written by me. Enjoy :)

My "Carpe Diem" poem (seize the moment). I wrote this for my English class as a project and it got chosen to be read at our (seniors and class of 2023) graduation. Hope you enjoy, poems aren't my forte but some people seemed to have liked it.
