Learn to Forget

We live and die. Sometimes we forget to breath, we forget to forget the things that hurt and we remember to count the losses and the pains. I'm turning it all around. I am choosing to let go. I'm choosing happiness. I'm sticking to a faith that believes in the good that can be. ©Booky…

Into Familiar Waters

Where do I begin from? I should start from the end. I am happy, content and blessed. Phew! I didn't get there in one breath, I began this year with a lot of struggles; I couldn't write stories it felt like the Muse shut herself up. I was battling with depression, intense anger at the…

A Vicious Cycle

Tomorrow January ends. I have not done so much blogging this month. I always wanted to do it differently this year. I couldn't bring myself to commit to everyday blogging.

Life… Poetry
