They are the stories that people tell themselves and others, which could potentially/ plausibly be the stories of their lives if they did…

Three books that I can read any number of times.

I was going through a bad break up, my worst so far. I knew in my bones that it was over, but I willed the universe into giving me signals that there was still hope. I looked out for signs behind cars, anything that could be his name. I played Ludo and bet that if…

What If You Fly?

“There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask “What if I fall?” Oh but my darling, What if you fly?” Erin Hanson There is the age old battle between the mind and the heart.

Not my first love..

You were not my first kiss, But all the others faded with my first with you.   You were not my first date, But how you opened the door for me, Made all others feel less first like.   You were not the first person to hold my hand in a movie hall, But you…
