PAPERS SPEAK

FOR PERSONS WHO LOVES TO KEEP MEMORIES...

My room is full of papers that are hung in the wall, piled in top of a table, stock in top of the cabinet, kept in a box and some are secretly hidden in a restricted place.

My room for others, is a garbage room because papers that were supposed to be thrown out because of their old and browny edges, are still here and alive!

It is not literally "alive" but I can tell that it's speaking to me, anytime I see those papers.

Those printed bible verse in bond papers attached to my wall by tapes, are always reminding me of God's promises that He will always be on my side, giving me strength and new hope all the time.

Other papers are in the notebooks, which are my diaries.

One of my favorite diaries is my first ever diary! It's cover is pink with a vintage look because it is almost kept for four years already.

The edges were ripped as if it was bitten by rabbits.

It has blue ink stains on the cover too! It really looks old.

And when you opened it, it is as if the writings are echoed on the other page, because of water drops that was dried by the time.

Despite of the aged look, anytime I read it, it is like I was still a twelve or eleven year old child who was full of naughtiness and despair.

At the back page of my diary was the scratch paper of my love letter that I sent to my previous crush.

My writings were very big, and fat!

Very much different in my writings now,

but still it's just a scratch paper, it looked so messy.

Full of copy reading symbols and erasures, for I was a copyreader before and I know how to copyread my works.

Every time I read that scratch, it is like it's narrating my stupidity, way back when I was high school.

There are also lots of papers, mostly messy scratch papers and failed and passed test papers.

They are all speaking to me of all the hard works I did before.

They are one of my inspirations, reminding me I should never give up!
