Today was surprisingly warm for March. It felt like August instead. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RlFPL62ns
I was in three different departments at my job, doing all the tasks others could, but they decided to give me. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFtMicyijD
I am coal for a fire they never want to see extinguished, yet here I burn out.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvquAq6lSb
It's been four months since that day.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4HIMh34Rc
Call me Hidaka. It's my lesser-known name, but that doesn't bother me. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ViWxd261
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtW4Gr2qkD
That may sound petty or like a brag. But trust me, I in no way feel pride in this. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Xf3m1vMD
Only loneliness.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uQRyOV5pK
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡongv9YoamH
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuqKyNSmVU
Once I gather my things, I go around the store to buy some items for myself. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cSXCId6aJ
On impulse, I decide to buy a picture. I never buy décor, but this was a must. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUf5i11Kve
It was a photograph of cherry blossoms. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeh7er7MSn
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimbUdJ1yGz
They remind me of home. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiu4CSDtex
The guests arrive a little later than 18:00, but I don't mind. I'm not the one hosting, anyway.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUMkCON4aB
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OJ5FNaHF9
All night, we play board games. Not much conversation is actually done, and when we all stand to talk, it is dead silent. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWCk5dAxab
I don't want to be here. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnYmobtluU
It is now 0:04. I sit in my messy workspace, staring at the faux ivy hanging from the ceiling. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN3mApASMM
I contemplate a lot of things at this time of night. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWGLswvNgH
I think about my job and the anxiety of being a hamster stuck in a plastic ball forever.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJTDNR9Tp
I think of how I didn't care for company and how I wished I was left alone this evening. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylKlclyQMw
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtaNfWG6vT
I think about being 22 and how my sisters want me married. I don't want to think about it now.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK154HMzpTQ
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. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuThMSwwpu
Now, I have a better understanding of where to go next. Better than I did four months ago. But I'm still the same. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqxFryw1F2
I'm still lonely. I still feel depressed and bitter. I still feel dejected, betrayed, and abandoned. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6izeI0tjjB
Maybe I should sleep all of this away. I think I need to talk to God more about this sorrow.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup2Pa9CRIN
I know all of this makes no sense. But I hope I can prove to you it will. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcGgAIGAKd
I want it to make sense.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FrNYkdG3i
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXLrmURAuK
