Today was surprisingly warm for March. It felt like August instead. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHOTr2pAFZ
I was in three different departments at my job, doing all the tasks others could, but they decided to give me. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUbVeV84wH
I am coal for a fire they never want to see extinguished, yet here I burn out.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNn2Hk0kdL
It's been four months since that day.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhA6xLoSuP
Call me Hidaka. It's my lesser-known name, but that doesn't bother me. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMtUJkduSp
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyFTgROMzg
That may sound petty or like a brag. But trust me, I in no way feel pride in this. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z054jiB0K
Only loneliness.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZE9duKefN
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x6ORqbfxt
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLqcvX2tWZ
Once I gather my things, I go around the store to buy some items for myself. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AKVQHvMjH
On impulse, I decide to buy a picture. I never buy décor, but this was a must. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIljMDkqjl4
It was a photograph of cherry blossoms. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZG7czhLp
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIo1GXuJuO
They remind me of home. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZcILGzJCU
The guests arrive a little later than 18:00, but I don't mind. I'm not the one hosting, anyway.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OSykYPtTK
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiJPbiPjbm
All night, we play board games. Not much conversation is actually done, and when we all stand to talk, it is dead silent. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPDBbamT5p
I don't want to be here. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GBW7NYW3q
It is now 0:04. I sit in my messy workspace, staring at the faux ivy hanging from the ceiling. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJsgRwKeZO
I contemplate a lot of things at this time of night. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU99cw1uHJQ
I think about my job and the anxiety of being a hamster stuck in a plastic ball forever.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kbSs5kkNM
I think of how I didn't care for company and how I wished I was left alone this evening. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNsBC5PIYt
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrvlAw6zXO
I think about being 22 and how my sisters want me married. I don't want to think about it now.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsskwfLhHx
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv21fYxbxVs
Now, I have a better understanding of where to go next. Better than I did four months ago. But I'm still the same. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhYL2U2Vtx
I'm still lonely. I still feel depressed and bitter. I still feel dejected, betrayed, and abandoned. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3GFOO6Z8w
Maybe I should sleep all of this away. I think I need to talk to God more about this sorrow.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM1uiFiR9s
I know all of this makes no sense. But I hope I can prove to you it will. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIij2wP83rf
I want it to make sense.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgJp9cOWS7
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDScVAAwds
