Cherish those moments!

By -

 I know some of you readers prefer chilling alone in your room, playing the music of your choice, watching YouTube or juts talking to your friends on WhatsApp (be it a voice or video call). I do this a lot as well... trying to isolate myself from the outside world that is the living room. 😂

However, sometimes you should just allocate some time to chill with your mom or your dad, or both if you're fortunate enough. For some reason, moments with them are (somewhat) unforgettable (unless you want to intentionally forget a particular moment because they brought up a topic that you didn't want to talk about). Be it taking a long walk with them, going to the mall with them or even going hiking, any time with your family is *most probably* a good time.

Trust me when I say: Spend as much time as possible with them... even if they decide to press on your buttons for no apparent reason. Cherish every moment you get with them, because tomorrow is never guaranteed, and you might regret not creating memorable moments with them. Cherish those moments when they made you laugh. You know what? Cherish even the tiny amounts you actually spend with them, 'cause like I said, tomorrow is never guaranteed to anyone, and you may regret not having any moment to remember them by, including those moments where you felt like punching them in the guts, because when you grow older, you'll be laughing at those moments as you tell your child(ren) stories from when you were their age.

Suddenly there was absolute silence... (fiction)

This is one of my attempts at a fictional story... Enjoy the story! It was a calm night here in Honeydew. There were clear skies outside and little to no activity in the neighbourhood. I was in the house alone (as usual). My parents always worked the night shift, so I always spent the weeknights alone. I sat by the window, counting the stars while eating a bowl of instant noodles. It was not my first time spending the night alone. Ever since 2019, when my parents got a new job, I have been left alone, so I was used to it. However, what happened on that night I did not expect. I called it a night at 11:04pm. I switched off the television and the lights and went to my bedroom. I tucked myself into bed and scrolled through Instagram on my phone. It takes me a while to fall asleep, so I spent quite a while on Instagram. As the clock signalled the start of a new day (it was 12AM) I heard several loud footsteps outside the house. I thought that it was just a couple of passers-by. How wrong

Rejection

 *Sigh* Rejection... Taking an L. Some people say it's a part of life, and I do agree with that. There's no way anyone on earth hasn't been rejected. In fact, I guarantee almost all of you guys reading this blog have been rejected one way or another. I don't know about you all, but I can't take an L. I simply can't stand the thought of  someone saying no. Why? Well... During the valentines week of 2019, I asked a then new girl whether she wanted to be my date to the V-Ball that my school hosted that year. She said no. That whole week, I couldn't stop thinking about that moment. My mood instantly dropped. For the whole of that week, I felt off. So much so that I made the decision not to attend that year's celebration (I was meant to come with my friends). On the day of the V-Ball, which began at 16:30, I left for home straight afterschool. I may also seem shy around girls... but deep down I know that I simply cannot simply just approach a girl. Why? I'

Mom.

 Not gonna lie, I still find it hard to talk about what i'm gonna talk about now, but I believe that if I start talking about it, I'll feel better. January 2023. A month that started so well yet had the biggest plot twist of my life. We entered the new year cheerful (and drunk, apparently), shooting fireworks, drinking champagne. All was well, until around the 2nd week of Jan, where my mom suddenly felt sick, and at some stage, totally unable to walk under her own power. My dad decided to take her to the hospital. That day, was unfortunately, the last time I saw her in person. For that whole week, I was left taking care of her business, while my dad went to see her. Every time I talked to her over call or WhatsApp, she sounded alright... I was certain that she was gonna come back home. On the 16th of January, I remember sending her a video of the puppies we just got, showing her how cute they are. I sent that video in the morning and she responded with "The puppies are her
