Writing Prompt: Someone I miss

So I found this old 30 day writing challenge I never got to complete. I left it on day 10 - yay for me- and well,  decided to write a couple entries since I  have the time and presumably, the inspiration to do so. This particular entry caught my attention firstly because everyone misses someone and secondly, because it made me realise that maybeeee just maybee, I'm  still missing this person that I thought I was on my way to forget. I thought that this could help me with the healing process so, here you go, it's short and sweet... well, maybe not so sweet: 

11. Someone I miss

This one is painful as it is ridiculously complicated. I mean, what exactly means to miss someone? Is it expecting to see their name on your phone even though you're damn sure that won't happen although you've tried erasing their number -and if it does- then surely you'll go through hell all over again. But hey, aren't you already in some sort of hell? When that person's name, face, *shadow* appears on your mind without your consent at random times during the day, is that “missing” someone or is it just plain old obsession? I can't tell the difference. Never been able to. Because missing someone shouldn't make you feel instantly guilty and miserable and like a fuck up, and then make you want to keep missing  them some more. Shouldn't make you feel naïve nor stupid for having said what you said and having done what you did… Missing someone should be more like remembering a scene, a word, a scent, a touch, a sensation. And then reliving it all over again cherishing it just because it happened. Missing someone shouldn't make you want to destroy that person's every single trace off your mind and turn the good memories into bad ones just to make sure they never come back to haunt you, because you need a good reason to keep them out of your life.

 Missing you, shouldn't be this painful.

Writing Prompt: Someone I've always wanted to meet

As much as I'd like to think that everyone admires someone they don't know, I can't quite figure out exactly who might that be in my life. I mean, I've met wonderful people, and surely there's even more on the way. It's just that I think that if you want to meet someone, it's because essentially, you want something from them. Anything.  On the other hand, I believe that everyone's got something to offer so, if  I had to choose, I'd say I want to find and meet someone who might just show me -by their actions- exactly how important is it to believe in yourself. Someone who might inspire me to be a better me every single day that passes by. Someone who is not afraid to be happy, to love and be loved. I want to meet a person with so much certainty in themselves and what they're doing, that they actually stop and wonder just how much more confident they can get.  After all, across the globe or just lying here on my bed, I just want to meet m...

Two sides of a coin

When I found this post on Pinterest, I remember I was having a fight with one of my best friends. It was a Saturday morning and my Sexual Health teacher had us students attending a recovering class from a occasion that she was absent. My mind was so full of myself, the way I saw the situation seemed like my friend was wrong and I was tired of always being the "mature one", "the first one to talk" and whatsoever. I was over it, about to give up on almost eight years of friendship. So I started to look up quotes to calm down my anxiety and found this poem, which inspired me in many different ways. Mostly, it tells us that there's still hope no matter how bad things seem to be going, that  the way to cope with problems or situations rely mostly on our perspectives. It invites us to look twice to what is happening to us, to look at the other side of the coin.  It tells us that everything can be transformed into something different, something better, I mean why not?...
