It’s hard to shine. Not because you don’t want to. Not because you weren’t inherently born for something beautifully unique yet mundane. Rather because you have been living in shadows for so long you have forgotten how to open your eyes. Dark corners and blurred edges line your life. And now cris...

Sheets that smell of you, of us. Our midnight musings and sexy secrets hidden under covers. Our lacivious dance by candlelight awakens the night. You are Eros incarnate. Your aim is true and your assail lethal. The attack on my heart results in a cloying wantonness. Beguiling. Stormy eyes and fir...

These days I've been reminiscing about the good old days, and in this case the days where the Internet was already around but people didn't have smartphones yet. Or Facebook and Instagram and Twitter. You get the idea. In the Philippines back then Friendster was king. Quite a few were also into M...

In January of this year, I posted this on Instagram: Tl;dr: When I decided to move here to Mexico several years ago, I came prepared career-wise. I finished a one-year course to teach English as a foreign language before flying here, expecting to transition from writing to full-time teaching (I d...

Well, it is everyone's (well maybe not everyone) favorite redheaded demi girl. I am just chillaxing, and listening to classic 80's Michael Jackson. (The Way You make Me Feel) bc hey... I'm in a MJ mood. I am a casual fan. Not really a mega fan like my old friend Kimmy Pyke. She collected MJ…

I haven’t journaled with on online community in years. Life has been kinda crazy lately though and it has me missing that. Missing the camaraderie of other writers and the friendships that would form as we got to know one another. So I’m here, giving this a shot, hoping to find a place to land.&h...

This new moon in Cancer -->Leo energy has me feeling beyond excited and a tad bet emotional. The best way I can describe this feeling is like a sudden rush of adrenaline (without the caffeine) that just came out of nowhere 😂. I sense something great happening for so many individuals such as my...

So the sermon this morning was about “as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody…” Of course we all know the fallacy of THAT particular misbelief but he gave examples of things that really DO hurt people, of things that were more like “what they don’t know won’t hurt them…” ie: it won’t hurt her if…

As the title suggests, I'm new to Open Diary. I've been using writing as a form of therapy for years. It usually doesn't matter what I write as long as I start writing something. Eventually I'll end up telling a story from my past or sharing my hopes and dreams for the future.   The…
