So close but yet so far.

She looks at him playing with his phone, smiling and looking happy. It is the same smile that he gave her 5 years ago. A blissful smile, a smile as if he has everything in his hands, content. But now the smile is not for her anymore, it's for someone in his phone. She finds it amazing that someone who's not virtually there can make him as happy as that but she, who's sitting in front of him cant do the same. Moments like this will usually make her feel so small, like a mice in a dark alley. But not tonight. She has finally accepted that she has lost the ability to make him jump over the moon, and does not feel like doing it anymore.  But what about her? Is he still making her happy? Yes. Or maybe not. But he gives her the sense of familiarity. Sometimes, that 's all you need. It doesn't matter that she is no longer looking at the same person she fell in love with five years ago, she just wants him there. Most break ups hurt because it is hard to break a habit, no...

Not me Not you

"If you ask me how can I see a true love, it would be the look on my face every time I see your beautiful self. If you ask me how can something so little makes a very big impact, I will tell you to see me at the lowest point of my life and how listening to your voice can make everything better. If you ask me how far can someone go because of love, you can be at the other side of the world and when you need me I will run to you as fast as I can. I know this is way too sudden but I believe what we have between us is real and I am ready to commit to this 110%" Amy looks at her bestfriend's face after uttering the words that she had been practicing for weeks. His face is as serious as ever. "Say something.." Amy is desperate, she needs his answer now. "So, you are going all the way to Korea, take a taxi to the company where TOP works, march inside and say all these ridiculous things? And then what? Assuming that nobody would stop you first at the door, beca...

Fiction: Amak's story

Testing 1,2,3, testing. Hello. Hi. Hi to all 23 of you. Thank you for coming here to be with me to send Amak to her next journey in life. Or afterlife. I don't know. I'm not sure how this works.  When I asked the person in charge on what should I put in my speech, he told me that I should insert some prayers and a few anecdotes of Amak. And that is what I shall do. You see, Amak lived all her lives with people spreading rumors about her, but instead of correcting them, she ignored everything and continued living her life her own way. And that what makes her special. Amak is my mother. She did not carry me in her womb for 9 months, she did not stay awake at night during the early years of my life like all mother's do. But she saved me and gave life to me when I almost died 15 years ago. After living for 15 years with her, there are a few of my favorite memories of her that I would like to share with you. My first favorite memory is when the first time I saw Amak...

One.

Lisa sets everything up quickly because she is already late. She promised Sarah that she would talk to her everyday, at 12a.m. sharp. Whenever she is late, Sarah will be upset and angry and that is something that she would want to avoid. She does not need another broken cup or flickering light. "Sarah, are you there?" Lisa feels quite chilly that night and that is because she left the window open. She is unsure whether it is true or not, but some people say that if you want the connection to be better, you should leave your windows open. "Today is a very bad day. I saw them.. I saw them together" Sarah's voice is trembling, she is holding back her tears. She is talking about her 'soulmate', Alex who dumped her because their souls were no longer connecting. But it is true. Lisa saw with her own eyes that their relationship is breaking apart. Alex used to be able to listen to Sarah's stories day and night, but after a while, he got tired of it and ...
