Today was surprisingly warm for March. It felt like August instead. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlsXCK4MCm
I was in three different departments at my job, doing all the tasks others could, but they decided to give me. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTL7HyKmnA
I am coal for a fire they never want to see extinguished, yet here I burn out.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFaj8S7cwx
It's been four months since that day.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8bJQhTefV
Call me Hidaka. It's my lesser-known name, but that doesn't bother me. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUnQwUCNik
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. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPCduHeKj6
That may sound petty or like a brag. But trust me, I in no way feel pride in this. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbdbbpTqBb
Only loneliness.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejHywhHvzk
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.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fmlBnpccZ
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. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSF7Z628BV
Once I gather my things, I go around the store to buy some items for myself. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa5mjrARwz
On impulse, I decide to buy a picture. I never buy décor, but this was a must. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2odJoPTLo
It was a photograph of cherry blossoms. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rW3Xjo885
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.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlskWmbknSB
They remind me of home. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHHCJ6w0pq
The guests arrive a little later than 18:00, but I don't mind. I'm not the one hosting, anyway.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTppDdhhHDb
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. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA1vxaaehT
All night, we play board games. Not much conversation is actually done, and when we all stand to talk, it is dead silent. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh8M85ALm8
I don't want to be here. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgRSRPj7IW
It is now 0:04. I sit in my messy workspace, staring at the faux ivy hanging from the ceiling. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpsYQq2kLX
I contemplate a lot of things at this time of night. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGMc8cGzRF
I think about my job and the anxiety of being a hamster stuck in a plastic ball forever.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimRlj7DT9H
I think of how I didn't care for company and how I wished I was left alone this evening. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu9AwN69Av
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. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OsI3oLw9m
I think about being 22 and how my sisters want me married. I don't want to think about it now.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspfuphQ821
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. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v99qgb3Mj
Now, I have a better understanding of where to go next. Better than I did four months ago. But I'm still the same. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr73zBTBuy
I'm still lonely. I still feel depressed and bitter. I still feel dejected, betrayed, and abandoned. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNx2dl2CbI
Maybe I should sleep all of this away. I think I need to talk to God more about this sorrow.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfj4dk6pQX
I know all of this makes no sense. But I hope I can prove to you it will. 637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1WtZsgoiA
I want it to make sense.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPli1CbiWGG
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.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20V6Whrtzx
