Today was surprisingly warm for March. It felt like August instead. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD5EJj5Y5l
I was in three different departments at my job, doing all the tasks others could, but they decided to give me. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpsA4K8rbk
I am coal for a fire they never want to see extinguished, yet here I burn out.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPlbxXycWJ
It's been four months since that day.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCJyIEXKs
Call me Hidaka. It's my lesser-known name, but that doesn't bother me. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFwPaHuU6p
I'm young still, 22, yet old in spirit. I have lived a lot of life. Much more than a lot of people my age. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yrh7wqomh
That may sound petty or like a brag. But trust me, I in no way feel pride in this. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJiAeEi6J6
Only loneliness.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleszAP3EFR
At 16:00, I clock out and get ready to leave. There is a party at my family's home tonight, but I feel like ditching. Too bad I can't drive.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5F90LWqHi
My brother sends a text to me, stating only good news. After being belittled by one of my managers all day, it's nice to have something to smile about. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMIPEH5wJO
Once I gather my things, I go around the store to buy some items for myself. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHzJNy1ObZ
On impulse, I decide to buy a picture. I never buy décor, but this was a must. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL74KJqiZs
It was a photograph of cherry blossoms. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8zhIrare0
One thing everyone quickly knows about me is I love cherry blossoms. They remind me of good, whimsical memories. They recall a sweet time before this era.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjBCWEJR77
They remind me of home. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp95VYEI7RS
The guests arrive a little later than 18:00, but I don't mind. I'm not the one hosting, anyway.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHoDcNy68G
My sister and brother are making an effort to make more friends at their church. I think that's amazing. They found a place they really like. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcNFvr4gll
All night, we play board games. Not much conversation is actually done, and when we all stand to talk, it is dead silent. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j5JSnFDue
I don't want to be here. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRhoIcvkdY
It is now 0:04. I sit in my messy workspace, staring at the faux ivy hanging from the ceiling. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC1C5NMRAs
I contemplate a lot of things at this time of night. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMxYv4D1Mw
I think about my job and the anxiety of being a hamster stuck in a plastic ball forever.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wqYIfP40F
I think of how I didn't care for company and how I wished I was left alone this evening. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCXEScH2Dn
I think about how I haven't had a proper church home in almost 2 years and how I wish I could find a place and congregation to return to each week. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6BiqH5puv
I think about being 22 and how my sisters want me married. I don't want to think about it now.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZl4HiaWup
Most of all, I think of 2 years prior to this time. It was a time of freedom and promise, a time where I truly thought I knew where God wanted me. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytl5HiQ8Fh
Now, I have a better understanding of where to go next. Better than I did four months ago. But I'm still the same. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8069yP4BX1
I'm still lonely. I still feel depressed and bitter. I still feel dejected, betrayed, and abandoned. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxoaCLiuyB
Maybe I should sleep all of this away. I think I need to talk to God more about this sorrow.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqVgzbMvtT
I know all of this makes no sense. But I hope I can prove to you it will. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVh2o2EAJy
I want it to make sense.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1az5gdQblw
But alas, I must rest. Sleep only comes for the traveler once a fortnight, so I must seize it like a prize. Now I will go to the place of my dreams, a place where these past four months haunt me no more.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sYN9F6ezU
