Cheers to a New Year

Image
The year 2020 has been a nice year for me despite that it brought unprecedented struggle to other people. Despite the struggle and how terrible it has been for other people, I'm still thankful for 2020 and the things that came along the way in my life. 2020 was a year of starting anew and the continuation of something beautiful.  I'm thankful that I have my job when other people are not too fortunate to keep theirs. I'm thankful that my family and friends are healthy and I've learned more not to take a normal breath for granted. I'm thankful for my peers at work who are always helping me. I'm thankful that I've been able to afford what I needed and also have the capacity to give to other people.

When I felt like Superman

(genre: mature, psychological, short story) I love Superman. When I first discovered Superman as a kid, I never stopped reading about him. I thought to myself 'like wow, this guy's pretty awesome.'

Anyway, I memorized drawing him and I loved drawing his logo. H

Pen and Emotion at Work

(genre: short-story, romance) I would fancy recalling how I felt when you fell asleep on my shoulder. How it brought a smile. It was a few years back when we barely knew each other. Mind you it was probably my most romantic evening in my whole life. Though it didn’t feel like February 14, thinking of that moment with you touches me forever. If you remember, we were with some friends. We were all having fun then. Playing cards and munching nuts, we were talking about the stuff we can do after we graduate. Of course you were beside me laughing; suddenly you taught me how to be a standup comedian. Moreover, I could still remember how you picked on me when I lost the third time playing a stupid card game. Now I realize it’s not just a stupid card game after all. I didn’t mind. However, the presence of all my friends around me comforts my being. It is funny how I finally understood myself. It all changed. I, being eccentric and solitary, slowly adapted to a social being. A monster, I would
