Cher journal, I'd like to share a story, one that is not mine, but needs to be heard. In March, my Uncle (who is younger than me by 6 years) was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma; bone cancer. For months his symptoms were thought to be growing pains, and when the doctors eventually diagnosed him with osteosarcoma, … Continue reading Bravery in Youth

Denying yourself of positive experiences for no reason is not productive - Glenn Roberts
24 Minutes, 23 Seconds
Will you sleep soundly now, Now your ocean is clear And your worries are hushed, Buried under sand. Or will your nightmares plague you, Dark shadows moving through water, Paranoid thoughts, Running through your mind. Are your memories locked away? When I see you will we be Strangers. I look up, you look away. Where's … Continue reading 24 Minutes, 23 Seconds
Sea Salt
Soft sounds of the sea envelop me, As I gaze over at your face, A sense of peace washes over me, As I watch waves caress the beach sand. Sunlight streams through our window, I feel you stir next to me as I kiss your cheek. Music flows through our room, I hum softly as … Continue reading Sea Salt
It’s Perfect
You think you have it figured out, Sorted neatly into tidy little boxes, Labelled and stamped, Placed carefully at the back of your mind. They begin to wear away, Fade And for a brief moment You forget – Two words. That’s all it took for everything to come rushing back, … Continue reading It’s Perfect
Until Dawn Comes
Heated moments. In hushed voices We whisper our love, Through words of passion And softly spoken rhymes. Eagerly reaching, In quiet motions, We touch our skin, Skimming over predesigned patterns And forgotten scars. Delicate words, In intense kisses, We dance slowly, Speaking a language only we know. Instinctively gripping one another, In longing gazes, We … Continue reading Until Dawn Comes

Yet every time it happens it's a new low, a new kind of sadness that I haven't experienced before, and now I wonder … Continue reading Laugh a Little
Sunshine
Your smile and the warmth it brings, Like a ray of golden sunshine, Flashes of a shooting star in your eyes, As my mind wanders to the happiest of places -Bliss. A sugary sweet gift from your lips, The cool touch of your skin under my fingertips As I trace maps of our future along … Continue reading Sunshine
Goodbye
I forced my lips to open, And utter a word I feared. I heard myself speak And yet as I looked into your eyes, I knew that my heart did not feel What I had uttered. And as my feet stayed firmly planted on the floor, I realised I could not turn away From those … Continue reading Goodbye
Alice: The Finale
Cher journal, Sometimes you need to take a step back from everything to see it all clearly, and only when you take off the rose-tinted glasses can you see your reality. I read recently that people don't like being told the truth because it distorts their version of reality, their illusion. I think that statement … Continue reading Alice: The Finale
