Everyday Stories, Lived

Life

  • The desert experience

    We thought that living life was just like following a set of instructions. And then, once done, a carefree life will be handed to you. But no. Everything is not easily handed over to you.

  • The after party

    Yesterday felt like a dream. However, I can still remember moments vividly. Have you ever felt how draining it feels right after the party? It’s as if all the adrenaline is finally going away, and now you’re left with all the soreness and the ache, and you just want to lie down on your bed… Read more
