IV.I.VI THE BLACKEST DAY Three words; “I love you”. Just three words. Three words so simple that they’re usually part of an infant’s jargon. Put a monkey on a typewrite and it’s bound to spell them out eventually. Three simple words. I’ve been known to speak at an alarming rate of WPMs. I’m talking Lorelai Gilmore or someone who’s on […]
IV.I.V – Shades of Cool
IV.I.V SHADES OF COOL Things with Alex were very… different. Probably because he was different than what I was used to. Very bohemian and alternative – but not at all forced or fake, just the way he is. I don’t know what it was about him that drove me so crazy and wild. And it wasn’t just him, his face or his […]

IV.I.I- Balance
IV.I.I BALANCE Just like that, a new phase of my life had started. I stopped smoking and started working out. My confidence skyrocketed and I also started feeling very chipper and chirpy, bright and shiny. I guess what I’m trying to say is that with great physical health comes… great mental health. Thank you. Thank you very much. I know, I […]
