Today was surprisingly warm for March. It felt like August instead. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9jozf7W1J
I was in three different departments at my job, doing all the tasks others could, but they decided to give me. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YMAZYZWhf
I am coal for a fire they never want to see extinguished, yet here I burn out.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlpCwKkwRr
It's been four months since that day.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH5mXcXtrX
Call me Hidaka. It's my lesser-known name, but that doesn't bother me. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhcighFkIt
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJT9Ea416A
That may sound petty or like a brag. But trust me, I in no way feel pride in this. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwCQJ7bcRD
Only loneliness.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumCTKgoRc9
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhkc4f8ibR
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0tl4bflIv
Once I gather my things, I go around the store to buy some items for myself. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZVFhEmd4N
On impulse, I decide to buy a picture. I never buy décor, but this was a must. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TV0C3QTtq
It was a photograph of cherry blossoms. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUwzaJKi19
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHydgy95Vn
They remind me of home. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW5v5L4UQd
The guests arrive a little later than 18:00, but I don't mind. I'm not the one hosting, anyway.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyT2PXWf53
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0gb1FPd6x
All night, we play board games. Not much conversation is actually done, and when we all stand to talk, it is dead silent. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1qcVhBecq
I don't want to be here. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedLIEY2zDv
It is now 0:04. I sit in my messy workspace, staring at the faux ivy hanging from the ceiling. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDpBwQnrAn
I contemplate a lot of things at this time of night. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhbP0rs8wt
I think about my job and the anxiety of being a hamster stuck in a plastic ball forever.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf5drEmqGz
I think of how I didn't care for company and how I wished I was left alone this evening. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBfoNtWW6S
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M1g6ZthbI
I think about being 22 and how my sisters want me married. I don't want to think about it now.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0nELEmUFd
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAT3dCIevL
Now, I have a better understanding of where to go next. Better than I did four months ago. But I'm still the same. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchor8h4UlN
I'm still lonely. I still feel depressed and bitter. I still feel dejected, betrayed, and abandoned. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yPYD1AcG2
Maybe I should sleep all of this away. I think I need to talk to God more about this sorrow.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFNjtP5OcH
I know all of this makes no sense. But I hope I can prove to you it will. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDxuGSUqzU
I want it to make sense.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQsZlOZaRt
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKXnnPSD39
