It is written in the stars: we were meant to be family. I pet my concrete floor a little harder than I would my actual pets, and masterfully (and perhaps a tad violently) scrape off a big, white blob of paint residue. I let out a maniacal chuckle. Then stop when I realise my window … More Everyday Life | Handy Family
I need not look out of my window to know the World is ending. The bright flashes of the ongoing, stroboscopic lightning fill me with an uncanny feeling of fear. I mean, I’ve been afraid before. And I’ve known, at times, how silly I was for feeling so. But this… This is different. It’s a … More Everyday Life | Apocalypse At Night
It’s uncanny how words can captivate us, and how they can also set us free. Today marks a cumulative strange day, just another one added to a year filled with personal extremities and too little time to work through them peacefully. Mind you, in less than 365 days I’ve managed to find the love of … More Everyday Life | Captivating Words
You did not actually think I was going to stop with just one part, did you? With the things I’ve gathered, I can write at least 4 more parts about all the Things I Don’t Understand!

For the past two years or so, I’ve been actively involved in finding my own place to live. What with the big four-oh coming up and … More Everyday Life | Queen Of My Castle

When I got older, time suddenly started to pass rapidly, frightening me with its speed – it’s like I’ve given it a whirl … More Everyday Life | It’s About Time
I am back from my break :) Took me longer than I thought. Another thing that’s taken much longer than I ever imagined, is this ever-growing list on my phone that I have been intending to turn into a blog post for about… 4 years now? Give or take a few years – I’m not … More Everyday Life | Life’s Incomprehensibilities (Pt.1)
The day I’ve been dreading for well over a week has inevitably arrived: I need to stop for gas. Due to the war in the Middle East, gas prices have recently scraped more skies than any building metaphorically could. And because my country runs a very high tax scheme on gas, prices have risen even … More Vampa’s Tales | Rebirth Of My Mind
“I don’t know any more,” the Princess said, “And that is the truth.” The whole of the Kingdom cohered in a gasp, yet the Princess, addressing her people from her balcony, relaxed and poured herself some wine. “The thing is, maybe Socrates was right. Perhaps true knowledge is knowing you know nothing. I can’t plan … More Vampa’s Tales | Uncertainty
One day the Princess exaggerated. She had been feeling poorly, and hoped her Doctor could prescribe her a medicine. But every time she’d rung his doorbell, his wife had had refused to let her in: “What is your illness?” the Doctor’s Wife asked the first time.“I cough and my throat is sore.”“You are not sick … More Vampa’s Tales | One Day The Princess Exaggerated
