A REALLY SHORT STORY

One thing you might not know about me is that I love writing even though nowadays I don’t have as  much time to write as I’d like. But as I was going through some old files through my computer I found these short stories and scenes I wrote for my Creative Writing class last year.

Here’s one of the pieces I wrote:

‘I’ve missed this.’ I told him.

‘I’ve missed the sound of waves crashing onto the shore. It’s like the sea sings this beautiful symphony that makes my heart feel safe and my soul at home. I’ve missed the sea breeze, this salty, yet fresh air that invades my lungs and makes my blood rush through my veins. I’ve missed the feeling that warm sand gives me whenever I walk down the beach. But what I’ve missed the most was just looking at the endless blue that makes me feel so small and powerless yet so alive and happy. I can’t believe I’m here again. I love it.’

‘And I love you.’ He said as he hugged me from behind and kissed me on the cheek.

‘I love you too. Thank you.’

‘Thank me for what?’

‘Thank you for everything. Thank you for bringing me here. Thank you for loving me so selflessly. Thank you for making me happy.’

‘No, my dear, thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and making me so immensely happy. Not a minute goes by without feeling grateful for all the love you give me. I couldn’t even imagine my life without you.’

We were looking into each other’s eyes. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it was going to break through my chest. I felt like all my life led to this moment. He kissed me and I swear that when our lips touched, I could taste the next fifty years of my life.

At that moment the alarm went off. I tried to hold on to that moment for as long as I could, but it was too late. I was already waking up.

SICK, TIRED AND BACK TO UNI

Hello everyone!

I want to apologize for not being around for the last few of days, but everything in my life was a mess. University started (or it starts tomorrow) and of course I had to pack and come to Cluj and then I had to unpack, put everything in order and  that was kind of exhausting. Then, I didn’t even manage to rest properly that I got terribly sick and now I barely sleep at night.

Nevertheless, I’m spending my days in bed trying to get over it, so bare with me for a couple more days until I get better and manage to get back on track.

Hope you all have a wonderful day or night!

FIVE FACTS ABOUT ME:

1. I hate talking about myself. Whenever someone asks me to say something about myself or to describe myself my mind just goes blank and I have no idea what to say. Needless to say that this is one of those situations (I literally spent half a day trying to come up with some facts about me), but I’ll do my best.
2. Whenever I have to spell “weird” I have to google the correct version of it. As much as I try I can’t spell it correctly.
3. I have a thing for Spanish everything: Spanish language, Spanish music, Spanish food. Whenever I hear someone from Spain talking I “fall in love” with them. Haha.
4. Of all the countries I visited so far, Switzerland is my favourite, but my favourite city has to be Vienna.

Shall I compare thee to a (rainy) summer’s day?

I just love a good ol’ rainy day. Especially in the summer. It’s so comfy to take a break from the hot weather and stay in bed enjoying a hot cup of coffee or tea, reading a book, watching a film or listening to some good music. Aahhh, I just love that. It’s like for a moment my life is worry-free.

 

Oohh, and that amazing smell of rain… You know what I mean. It’s fresh, yet at the same time old, somewhat strange, yet so familiar. I’ve always wondered how can rain be two things at the same time. It can pour aggressively and make you feel so calm. It can be so loud and at the same time so quiet. I swear, there’s nothing more beautiful…

 

Sometimes, I think, we don’t appreciate rain enough… It gives us the opportunity to take a little break from all the craziness our life is and enjoy the tranquilty it offers… Even if just for a second…
