Ouch! I’ve accidentally pricked myself with a safety pin. A drop of blood surfaces from the tiny prick in my finger. I need a plaster to put on this injury. It’s okay though, just another to the current collection. I am always covered in bruises, scratches, pin holes, stubbed toes, and paper cuts. I’m accident…

I am one of the fairies that paints the world in colour each day. My primary colour is green, to colour the trees, leaves and grass. Today is a different day to others of painting the world awake. I’m running low on green paint. I’ll use what I have left in this tin, then head…

I’m a writer. I’m good at writing. Less so for other creative endeavors. I wish I was good at painting or drawing or sculpting or making music or acting, but the sad reality is that I’m not. I stick to writing as it comes naturally to me. I fear that I’m limiting my creativity and…

I am so sick of my numbers being in the single digits. This person is so frivolous with their spending and I have to pay the consequences of that spending habit. I’ve suggested savings accounts and locking it away and interest options, but the money is always gone. Very quickly after pay day am I…

I feel horrible. Every few minutes, I have a car pull up beside me and squeeze me until I’m vomiting. Then the next car, and the next car, and the next car, and so on all day long. I’m squeezed until I’m violently sick and their car is running on a full tank. It hurts…

“Welcome back to my day-in-the-life of an influencer series. I like to start each morning with a 6AM gym workout. #FitnessBabe #EarlyMorning #Slay.” I gotta capture this just right. I need a strong pose and the right camera angle and lighting to capture my peak physique. I’ll sit on the weight bench for a quick…

Only four more hours until we ring in the new year. Another 365 days passed. I just have to stay awake a little longer. To me, this is similar to staying up to see Santa as a child. My eyes are dozing off, and my head keeps bowing towards unconsciousness. I want to leave the…

I have to give my deck of victim cards a shuffle before deciding what my excuse is today. I need constant validation and need people to coddle me for contributing nothing to society. Today is… drumroll please… being a bad friend. I can definitely work with this. It’s time to call Steph and bitch to…

I want top be working on my passion project, I really do, but I keep finding fun distractions. The time for focus keeps turning into zoning out on a strange detail in the wall plaster I’ve never seen before, then putting my favourite music on, then – a blink later – I’m searching about the…

“If you are hearing this, I need help. I’m bleeding out on the corner of Thompson Road and Cisile Street. Quickly! Please call 9-1-1! I know for certain that I don’t have long left. The blood is draining from my head, and this may be the last time that I say I love…”

I’m a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. Every break up leads to finding the perfect soulmate. Every job I get fired from leads me to my dream company I’m meant to be at. Every argument with a family member has forced us to have difficult conversations we were avoiding, bringing us closer…

I wonder to myself what people will think about me – remember me by – once I’m dead. I’m holding onto my final breaths, each more painful than the last, so no better time to question my legacy. Not a single person should have any bad will towards me. I’ve been a good person, made…

I have so much on my to-do list. The list goes on and on. Everything I didn’t finish yesterday got piled into today’s list, and today’s unfinished business will join tomorrow’s to-do list. On and on and on forever. The list just keeps extending longer and longer. Each day becomes more difficult to complete each…

My calendar is…empty. Nothing today. Nor tomorrow. No plans all weekend. No events this week, or this month. The blank squares stare longingly at me, but I have other ideas. It’s the perfect time to catch up on some sleep and get through the movie watchlist I’ve been sitting on for a while now. Hello,…

Nothing makes sense. Every dream situation occurring simultaneously. Chickens fly on trucks while spiders run for government positions. Each book has its own personality, and zebras hold traffic signs for the elephants passing by. It’s strange to look out the window and see a blue ocean, instead of the usual orange sea. Good morning, splendid…

I was always of the strong belief that animal and human genetics should never be crossbred. Unfortunately, my colleagues and superiors have decided that these experiments will be the pinical in the science arms race against other nations. I see the experimental patient’s look in their eyes, unaware of what they have signed up for. …

As a writer myself, here are some writing tips I have picked up over time. This is open to conversation, disagreement or likeness. This advice is all my opinion, and I’m open to be proven ‘wrong’ about certain points. Bonus tip: 10. Creativity is subjective. So is how we perceive the world around us. Every…

Today I go through the same routine that I do every day. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens to me, and that suits me just fine. I work, I clean the house, I sleep, and I start again. LKook, the sun is beginning to set. It’s time to put my pajamas on and get…
