Today was surprisingly warm for March. It felt like August instead. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12gHgM3wB
I was in three different departments at my job, doing all the tasks others could, but they decided to give me. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFPncEGygE
I am coal for a fire they never want to see extinguished, yet here I burn out.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksFDKbTGmp
It's been four months since that day.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh79iX97Phr
Call me Hidaka. It's my lesser-known name, but that doesn't bother me. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzRxOHXIEp
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhmKxg3Jyk
That may sound petty or like a brag. But trust me, I in no way feel pride in this. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCqWd1wJxD
Only loneliness.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9BOqMHk8q
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WDMy45dsc
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ358xdj9wl9
Once I gather my things, I go around the store to buy some items for myself. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXxl3OHLaH
On impulse, I decide to buy a picture. I never buy décor, but this was a must. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6MyowwKQ7
It was a photograph of cherry blossoms. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeDfERz9va
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGRpZccjsN
They remind me of home. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA9vlHyENS
The guests arrive a little later than 18:00, but I don't mind. I'm not the one hosting, anyway.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQO8HbiFFg
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueI1OpyHcT
All night, we play board games. Not much conversation is actually done, and when we all stand to talk, it is dead silent. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL9Md5zEfo
I don't want to be here. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaOBY9Cdlt
It is now 0:04. I sit in my messy workspace, staring at the faux ivy hanging from the ceiling. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLk0KT9a1G
I contemplate a lot of things at this time of night. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qDLEZieN
I think about my job and the anxiety of being a hamster stuck in a plastic ball forever.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTiot3mi9U
I think of how I didn't care for company and how I wished I was left alone this evening. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacAsYdyK5q
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdwQCIcboc
I think about being 22 and how my sisters want me married. I don't want to think about it now.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkIOEDJ8M9
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AWbQjI1h8
Now, I have a better understanding of where to go next. Better than I did four months ago. But I'm still the same. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpVlFZMVmG
I'm still lonely. I still feel depressed and bitter. I still feel dejected, betrayed, and abandoned. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqFwccBGDw
Maybe I should sleep all of this away. I think I need to talk to God more about this sorrow.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0qLgrcZsI
I know all of this makes no sense. But I hope I can prove to you it will. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgFEXgDhDP
I want it to make sense.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUjI8Nf4jX
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesZGdu5Mld
