Wow. I’m Dumb.

Have you ever had a moment where you realize something and feel incredibly dumb for not realizing it sooner than you did? Whether it’s solving a puzzle, a riddle, or something that perplexed you? Well, I’d like to get real with you, because for me, there’s a special skill in the world that takes meContinue reading “Wow. I’m Dumb.”

Measure of Too Much

How much is too much? When it comes to effort? Is it when you’re exhausted at the end of the day? Find yourself on the floor with no will to move? How much is too much? When you give and give. All the effort for scratches and bruises and cracks? You do what you can.Continue reading “Measure of Too Much”

Question the Dream

When I was little, I always said I would be a veterinarian, and in my mind, I would be the greatest veterinarian in the world. I’d be able to heal any animal. I even remember making a sign for my bedroom door that said “Animal Love Vet Place” and I would take care of myContinue reading “Question the Dream”

Do What You Can

One of my favorite things to do to escape the world is to watch One Piece. It’s a goofy anime about pirates that follow their dreams. Although it’s a cartoon, it does hit a lot of heavy topics: racism, corruption, defiled morals, so and so forth. In the Alabasta arc where the pirates are tryingContinue reading “Do What You Can”

I’m Not a Thief

I like pirates. I like the freedom of adventure. Of not caring what others think. I like pirates. But I’m not a thief. I like playing the pickpocket. Of testing the video game to see if I get caught. Sneaking around as a cat burglar assassin. I like playing the pickpocket. But I’m not aContinue reading “I’m Not a Thief”

The Derailing of an Exhausted Mind

Have you ever been so tired, you can’t sleep? You’re physically exhausted. Can’t stand to raise your arms or even walk and yet your mind–though dull–won’t let you enjoy the softness of your pillow? I’m at that point currently. It’s nowhere near midnight on a day that isn’t the day this post posted. I triedContinue reading “The Derailing of an Exhausted Mind”

Definition of Friendship

How would you define friendship? The dictionary says its a relationship between friends, the emotions or conduct of friends, a state of being friends. It even says its a state of mutual trust and support between nations and allies. So, if friendship is the relationship between friends, then what’s a friend? Google dictionary says itsContinue reading “Definition of Friendship”

A Day of Adventure

If I could be anyone else for a day, I’d be one of the horse-riding non-playable characters (NPC) in Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) Now, maybe this writing prompt wants me to pick someone real, but I don’t want to live someone else’s life. What if they have a huge test thatContinue reading “A Day of Adventure”
