“Take a break and give your soul what it needs.”

— Audrey Kitching

My mind ain’t functioning properly. Ain’t receiving information. Might as well give it what it wants — a good book or a mind-blowing series.

Lost in paradise!🌳💚

When light succumbs to darkness,

to whom do you run to?

And when desolation overpowers euphoria,

whose arms are gonna embrace you?

With all these inner demons to fight

and hidden battles to win,

why do we end up all alone...

with nobody to call home?

Happy Earth Day!🌏

i miss mommy so much that it hurts😢 i wish that i can hug her and hear her voice even just for a short time

This.

I was a gifted child. Until I wasn't. I was the golden girl. Until I couldn't burn anymore.

My parents expected me to build wings of gold and fly further than anyone could ever try. I don't blame them, having a child to raise is like sculpting a clay pot, you can shape it the way you like, paint it the colour you fancy. To raise a child is to play God. To raise a child is to be God.

But to be a child is to fall, to make mistakes, to fail. The thing about being too bright at an early age means you burn out by the time you're 16 and suddenly the world around you becomes more gray and terribly, terribly lonely. The fire is never warm enough, nothing is ever enough. And one day you find yourself begging to a godless sky, begging for a new spark.

I was a gifted child once. I was the golden girl. And one day, I burned out.
