A collection of random write ups and poems that doesn't rhyme 🤑 . . . . . but it's worth a look and is quite relatable, I think :) If you have gotten up from your pretentious slumber, to pour your heart out in black and white. Regretted the day later, yet relieved with the less burden you had to carry, with the help of a little venting and a little therapy along your creativity. . . . It's stupid It's not very mature, how we react at the moment of a heart break but it's life. It's okay to burst out when it needs to be let out. We all get lost sometimes, IN LOVE but we always find our way back to ourselves. Writing is an escape for me, from reality. All the hurt, the lies, the world altogether fades away as I hold my favorite pen, who's always ready to help me put my soul out there for the world to see and feel. Hope you like it :) Xoxo

Evelyn was tired. For weeks she had felt the fatigue cling to her soul, and no amount of sleep would rejuvenate her. Her friends just did not understand what it was like to be the ‘fat friend’. To be the friend who went shopping alone because she didn’t want others to know what size she was, or comment on how big she already knew she was. Evelyn knew her friends were just trying to make her feel more comfortable in her skin, but the just came off as patronising. Evelyn had accepted the fact that she would probably live alone, with so and so cats. Who in their right mind would find her attractive? If she couldn't bare to look at herself in the mirror - who would be able to do that for a lifetime. It was this reason that Evelyn kept to herself and declined her friends invites to go out, that surely was asking for trouble as Evelyn was desperate not to draw attention to herself. But you can’t keep living your life in the shadows – which pushed Evelyn to do something she had never thought twice about before. Going to a party. Little did she know, that this choice would change everything she had ever known. But which was worse, not being seen at all or being seen for all the wrong reasons?
