My idea of a picture-perfect home came from my idea of a broken one, A house swelling with pealing laugher, Some say home is where the heart is, Others say home is where the toilet seat is comfortable, On this side it’s a little bit of both, a peaceful place I will one day call…… Continue reading The Place I Call Home

Little Me
I wish I could watch how my life’s journey began.From my making to when mum found out she had conceived me.All her cravings and the kicks I gave her.When she gave that final push and there I was.My humble beginnings.Innocent and harmless days.Then when I started crawling and making weird faces and funny noises.

How I Became A Morning Person And Other Things That Never Happened.
Alarm goes off, Hit snooze. Again. Another 9 minutes (which feels like 2 minutes), If my alarm could throw hands: My little manger becomes just a little bit more comfortable, I turn my pillow and bury my face into the cooler side. Must wake up now…zzz I throw the covers over myself, turn on my…… Continue reading How I Became A Morning Person And Other Things That Never Happened.
