Blogs and Stories
Here I upload my writing, be it (ir)regular blog posts, creative writing, flash fiction, or informative content. All of the thumbnail photos are pictures that I’ve taken.
The Itch to Write
I find myself inevitably facing the itch to write. And yet I often find myself, equally inevitably, facing another problem: not being able to start. Needing the ‘perfect setting’ to write and not being willing to take the time and set aside a moment for myself to put my thoughts into words. It’s a problem I face with many things, though I’ve fortunately been slowly easing myself out of these habits for things like studying and exercise.

The Willow Tree
When I was a little girl, there was a magnificent willow tree growing on a riverbank by my house.
On the way home from school, I often went to the willow. I would spend ages looking at it. Its leaves always seemed as if they were about to cry. I always felt a certain pity for that willow tree, its leaves hanging down wistfully.
