The sun may set in the west, but it always rises in the east. A sunrise is a symbol of a new day, a new challenge, and a new chance of doing better than we did yesterday.
Eastern Samar is blessed to receive the first few rays of the sun every day. And that is why [...]
just like to create poems, and love reading also….
this poem was apparently for my ex…
(It was our encounter that brought me this feeling. A feeling that I cannot fully express due to the constraints imposed to me by the norms of society – ethics…)
dearest 26van,
i don’t go with stationeries to add some juice to this letter. no greetings that would make your heart scream. no formalities to please human expectations [...]
